How  futile  it  seems  to  attempt  to  place  on  the  printed 
page  the  pleasures  we  have  enjoyed,  the  wisdom  we 
have  gained,  and  the  friendships  we  have  made  while 
students  at  Stockbridge.  No  books,  no  matter  how  fine, 
can  hope  to  encompass  events  as  powerful  as  these.  The 
soul  and  mind  of  the  individual  living  them,  is  alone 
sensitive  enough  to  record  their  true  meanmg. 

We  have  in  the  following  pages  endeavored  to  gather 
together  only  those  outward  happenings  and  experiences 
that  are  known  to  us  all.  If  you  can  pick  up  this  book 
in  the  days  to  come  when  the  present  has  receded  into  the 
past,  when  memories  have  become  dim  and  life  has  some- 
how lost  its  edge,  turn  its  pages  and  relive  those  pleasures, 
revive  that  urge  for  knowledge  and  renew  those  long  lost 
friendships,  we  shall  know  our  work  has  been  well  done 
and  our  mission  fulfilled.

The  Shorthorn  Board  of  the  Stockbridge  Class  of  '32 
wishes  to  express  its  sincere  appreciation  to  those  many 
friends  who  have  materially  assisted  in  the  work  of  organ- 
izing and  publishing  the  year  book. 

We  especially  wish  to  thank  Professor  Rollin  H. 
Barrett,  faculty  adviser,  for  his  patience,  optimism  and  ever 
willingness  to  work  with  us;  Mr.  C.  A.  Nichols  of  Chas. 
W.  Burbank  Co.,  printers,  for  his  splendid  cooperation; 
Miss  Dorothy  C.  Cooper  of  Howard-Wesson  Co.,  Engravers, 
for  her  criticism  and  advice;  Mr.  H.  E.  Kinsman  of 
Kinsman's  Studio,  Photographers,  for  his  interest  and  ready 
assistance;  Director  R.  H.  Verbeck,  Miss  Katharine  Martin, 
and  Miss  Catherine  Heflernan  of  the  Short  Course  Office, 
for  the  fine  spirit  with  which  they  have  helped  us. 

We  have  enjoyed  our  work  on  this  Shorthorn  and 
realize  that  whatever  success  this  book  attains  has  been 
made  possible  only  through  the  fine  spirit  of  cooperation 
that  has  existed. 

The  Shorthorn  Board.

"TJEW  MEN  who  have  attended  Massachusetts  State  College  can  boast  of  as  fine  a  record 
-*-  of  achievement,  both  as  an  undergraduate  and  as  an  officer  of  the  institution  as  can 
Emory  E.  Grayson. 

"Em"  Grayson,  while  an  undergraduate  was  not  only  outstanding  as  an  athlete  but 
as  a  student  as  well.  He  won  varsity  letters  in  football,  baseball,  and  basketball.  If 
anyone  should  attempt  to  compile  a  list  of  the  ten  outstanding  athletes  at  Massachusetts 
for  all  time,  his  name  would  surely  be  on  the  list. 

The  war  came  just  as  he  graduated  and  the  next  two  years  found  him  in  the  service. 
In  1919  he  returned  to  the  campus  as  the  first  athletic  instructor  for  the  Stockbridge 
School,  which  was  just  getting  started.  During  the  four  years  from  1919  to  1924  he 
organized  and  coached  the  Stockbridge  football  and  basketball  teams  and  the  varsity 
baseball  team.  His  ability  as  a  coach  won  outside  recognition  and  in  1924  he  was 
appointed  to  the  coaching  staff  at  Amherst  College  and  coached  its  varsity  baseball  teams 
until  the  fall  of  1927.  At  that  time  there  was  a  vacancy  in  the  position  of  Supervisor 
of  Placement  Training  in  the  Stockbridge  School  and  he  returned  once  more  to  serve 
his  own  college. 

Emory  is  a  true  sportsman  and  a  gentleman  in  every  way.  He  is  blessed  with  an 
abundance  of  common  sense  and  inspires  confidence  in  those  with  whom  he  is  associated. 
These  qualities  explain  in  part  the  wonderful  record  he  has  made  in  his  present  position. 
Few  men  have  more  real  friends  among  the  alumni. 

Ask  any  Stockbridge  alumnus  what  he  thinks  of  "Em."  He  has  made  a  real  con- 
tribution to  the  lives  of  most  of  them. 

Curry  S.  Hicks.

The  Vincent  Goldthwait  Loan  Fund  was  established  in  1930  by  Dr.  Joel  E. 
Goldthwait  of  Boston.  For  many  years  or  since  1924,  Dr.  Goldthwait,  with  the  coopera- 
tion of  the  Short  Course  Office,  had  been  extending  loans  to  students  of  the  Stockbridge 
School  of  Agriculture.  These  personal  loans,  however,  began  to  involve  more  detail 
•than  Dr.  Goldthwait  could  properly  handle,  therefore  about  two  years  ago.  Dr.  Goldthwait 
thought  it  advisable  to  turn  over  to  the  treasurer  of  the  college,  the  entire  fund  along 
with  the  existing  notes.  The  Vincent  Goldthwait  Loan  Fund  became  at  that  time  the 
property  of  the  Massachusetts  State  College.  The  fund  was  to  be  handled  entirely  by 
the  treasurer's  office  and  was  to  be  made  available  to  all  students  of  the  college. 

There  are  several  reasons  for  Dr.  Goldthwait's  interest  in  the  Stockbridge  School. 
The  first  of  these  may  easily  be  the  fact  that  he  was  graduated  from  M.  A.  C,  Class  of 
'85.  It  was  also  while  here  at  Amherst  that  he  became  inspired  with  the  desire  for 
further  training  in  order  that  he  might  enter  his  present  profession.  Perhaps  the  greatest 
reason  of  all  for  his  keen  interest  in  Stockbridge  students  came  as  a  result  of  the  sad 
experience  of  losing  his  son  Vincent  who  had  definitely  planned  to  study  agriculture 
at  this  college  upon  completing  his  work  at  Harvard  University. 

At  first  it  seems  strange  that  Vincent  Goldthwait,  with  the  opportunity  to  enter 
practically  any  field,  selected  agriculture  as  his  life  work.  However,  it  does  not  seem 
so  strange  when  one  realizes  the  broad  and  intelligent  environment  in  which  he  was 
brought  up,  and  the  strong,  healthy  character  of  the  young  man  himself.  Encouraged 
by  his  parents,  his  early  desire  for  the  pleasures  to  be  had  in  the  out-of-doors  was  no 
doubt  the  chief  factor  leading  up  to  his  decision.  Realizing  the  importance  of  a  broad 
education  as  a  foundation  for  leadership,  Vincent  entered  Harvard  College  in  1920. 
With  characteristic  energy  and  enthusiasm  he  entered  into  the  college  life.  As  well  as 
maintaining  a  high  scholastic  standing,  he  became  a  member  of  the  college  pistol  team, 
the  college  band,  the  manager  of  his  class  tennis  team  and  a  general  participator  in  all 
things  of  an  athletic  nature.  During  his  two  years  or  more  at  college  he  was  an 
infrequent  participator  in  things  of  a  social  nature,  his  interests  being  more  in  other 
fellows  and  in  activities  out-of-doors.  In  fact,  it  was  while  on  a  boating  trip  with  some 
classmates  that  he  accidentally  lost  his  life,  due  to  an  explosion  of  gasoline  resulting  in 
the  burning  of  the  boat. 

Much  as  he  liked  college  it  was  during  the  vacation  periods  that  Vincent  really 
lived,  for  it  was  then  that  he  could  work  in  the  soil  and  dream  and  plan  for  the  future. 
The  hard  and  often  disagreeable  work  on  the  farm  did  not  phase  young  Goldthwait. 
He  tackled  those  jobs  with  such  enthusiasm  and  energy  that  all  the  men  with  whom 
he  worked  liked  and  respected  him.  An  interested  and  helpful  assistant  was  found  in 
his  father.  Together  they  visited  the  "West  to  study  sheep  raising,  and  together  bought 
a  large  farm  in  a  nearby  town.  This  they  began  to  operate  as  the  first  unit  of  a 
contemplated  chain  of  New  England  farms.  It  was  in  connection  with  the  work  on 
this  farm  that  Vincent  and  his  father  became  to  understand  the  problems  of  the  farmer.

At  that  time,  nearly  ten  years  ago,  they  discussed  many  of  the  ideas  that  are  being 
advocated  at  the  present  time.  The  chief  one  of  these  was  the  developing  of  the  farm 
as  a  whole.  Under  this  they  recognized  the  woodland  as  an  integral  part  of  their 
farm  and  proceeded  to  improve  it  in  order  that  it  might  produce  a  continuous  and 
profitable  yield  of  wood  products.  They  realized  the  importance  of  careful  selection  of 
farm  crops.  They  felt  the  need  of  the  most  modern  machinery  if  the  farm  was  to  be 
made  efficient.  They  also  appreciated  the  values  that  could  be  received  from  the  hfe 
on  the  farm  that  could  not  be  obtained  in  quite  as  fine  a  degree  anywhere  else. 

Vincent  had  planned  to  come  to  Amherst  as  a  special  student  upon  the  completion 
of  his  four  years  at  Harvard.  He  was  a  believer  in  the  short  course  program  and 
intended  to  attend  them  periodically  in  order  that  he  might  keep  up  with  the  most 
modern  methods  of  agriculture.  In  everything  he  did  he  gave  evidence  of  unusual 
foresight  and  clear  reasoning.  Massachusetts  State  College  as  well  as  New  England 
Agiiculture  is  undoubtedly  the  loser  by  his  untimely  death.

"Tommy"  is  known  by  everyone  about  campus.  He 
has  been  a  worker  all  through  his  two  years  here  at 
Stockbridge.  He  likes  to  see  things  neat  and  tidy 
so  he  tries  to  put  them  that  way.  He  studies  a  lot 
and  certainly  "puts  it  accross"  in  the  classroom. 
Sometimes  we  wonder  just  what  goes  across  but  the 
"profs."   seem  satisfied   and  that's  what  counts.

"Lo"  likes  the  boys  and  usually  is  to  be  seen  at  the 
numerous  social  functions. 

"Lo"  was  not  afraid  to  soil  her  hands.  She  en- 
tered right  into  any  laboratory  work  that  came  along 
with  a  spirit  that  we  all  admired.  Perhaps  her 
placement  training  had  something  to  do  with  it..  We 
hear  she  called  on  the  judge  while  down  on  the 
Cape.     What  about  it,  Lois? 

"Lo"  loves  flowers  and  ought  to  increase  the  busi- 
ness of  the  florist's  shop  were  she  is  to  work.

Here  is  the  boy  who  looks  at  the  world  from  a

If  you  don't  believe  he  is  attractive  just  ask  some  of 
the  co-eds,  or  any  other  girls  for  that  mattet. 

For  the  past  two  years  "Bob"  has  been  a  great 
asset  to  the  class  with  his  winning  ways  and  un- 
ceasing good  nature.  From  "man  lost  in  the  woods," 
to  "hoot-hoot,"  "Bob"  carried  on  his  fun.  It  isn't 
often  that  people  have  the  pleasure  of  knowing  one 
as  generous  and  sporting  as  he  is.

"Doug" — "Batch" 
Athol  Pomology 

Cross  Country,  2.     Track,  2. 

"Doug"  is  just  another  one  of  these  innocent  faced 
boys  from  way  up  north  in  Athol.  Don't  be  deceived 
by  his  appearance  and  quiet  manner  for  it  is  merely  a 
handy  disguise  for  those  evil  designs  he  tries  to  con- 
ceal from  us.  Don't  worry  we  won't  tell  but  we  are 
wise  to  you ! 

If  we  believe  in  the  old  adage,  "still  water  runs 
deep,"  this  boy's  thoughts  must  be  deep  enough  to 
drown  the  "Profs"  as  well  as  ourselves. 

Of  all  the  pomologists,  this  one  will  certainly  be 
able  to  make  two  apples  grow  where  but  one  grew 
before. 

May  you  climb  to  the  summit  in  the  world  of 
fruit  as  easily  as  you  climbed  to  the  summit  of 
"Prexy's"   hill  during  cross   country.

"Larry" 
Northampton  Floriculture 

Floriculture  Club,  2. 

Who's  that  sporty  looking  youth  who  is  always  as 
neat  as  the  proverbial  pin?  Why,  that's  none  other 
than  "Larry."  Friendly  to  all,  but  intimate  to  a  few. 
The  fellows  that  were  pals  of  "Larry's"  certainly  owe 
him  a  great  deal,  because  for  them  he  made  the  two 
years  at  Stockbridge  a  regular  good  time.  Always 
ready  to  cheer  up  the  downhearted,  he  made  a  great 
many  friends  and  whenever  things  grew  dull  and 
commonplace  "Larry"  stepped  in,  and  with  a  few  of 
his  jokes  and  smiles  things  brightened  up  immediately. 
It  is  rumored  that  "Larry"  was  a  fisherman  of  note, 
if  so  we  believe  that  a  great  number  of  the  fish  in  the 
Conn.  River  owe  their  lives  to  many  little  college 
girls.     (Any  college).

"Blondie" 
Springfield,  Vt.  '         Animal  Husbandry 

Cross-Country,  '31,  '32. 

"Blondie"  came  down  from  the  Vermont  hills  to 
take  up  Animal  Husbandry  and  to  show  the  boys  how 
it's  done  in  'Vermont.  We  hear  that  all  of  "Blondie's" 
cows  are  off  balance  due  to  continual  grazing  in  side 
hill  pastures.  Maybe  this  environment  of  hill  and 
dale  was  the  reason  for  his  interest  and  success  in 
the  cross-country  here  at  Stockbridge. 

"Blondie"  is  one  of  those  few  and  far  between 
fellows  who  has  the  consistant  habit  of  getting  out 
of  "exams."  It  is  hard  to  convince  him  with  any- 
thing but  cold  facts,  and  the  "Profs"  have  a  hard  time 
convincing  him  that  the  facts  are  cold. 

Strange  as  it  seems,  Harold  has  stopped  going  home 
week-ends.  We  are  told  that  a  Californian  maiden, 
roaming  about  the  campus,  is  the  cause  of  this  sudden 
interest  in  Amherst.

"Booky" 
Corinna,  Maine  Poultry  Husbandry 

"Booky"  came  down  from  way  up  in  Maine,  all 
full  of  ambition  and  with  a  strong  desire  to  learn 
something  about  chickens.  One  thing  we  feel  pretty 
certain  of  and  that  is  that  he  confined  his  efforts  to 
only  the  feathered  kinds. 

We  shall  always  remember  our  pal  "Booky"  as  he 
strolled  across  campus  with  his  high  leather  boots  and 
knickers;  a  perfect  portrayal  of  "the  hiker." 

We  know,  that  with  the  determination  you  have 
shown,  your  success  as  a  poultryman  is  certain. 

Cheerio,  "Booky"  and  may  the  day  come  when 
someone  of  the  other  sex  does  your  shopping  and 
serves  your  meals.

"Connie"  to  his  friends  and  who  has  more  than 
this  boy  from  the  wilds  of  Cherry  Valley;  the  town 
that  produces  politicians  not  cherries.  We  cannot  say 
enough  about  "Connie"  with  his  ever-ready  wit  and 
good  humor.  Beneath  the  humor,  however,  you  will 
find  a  serious  nature  hidden.  Proof — his  seleaion  as 
fraternity  president,  class  vice-president  and  com- 
mencement committee  chairman.  He  has  worked  hard 
for  his  fraternity,  his  class  and  the  school  as  a  whole; 
for  this   we  commend   him.

"Jim"

"Jim"  is  always  ready  to  tackle  anything,  a  trait 
which  came  in  very  handy  when  we  had  some  old 
and  balky  "Ag.  Engine"  motor  to  start. 

He  possesses  a  big  heart  and  a  bigger  appeute. 
The  Dairy  Dept.,  will  testify  to  his  remarkable  feats. 
"Jim"  often  mastered  (?)  the  sports  he  tried  whether 
cross  country,  bowling  or  even  swimming. 

By  his  fellow  classmates  he  is  considered  an 
authority  on  Hadley,  Providence  and  Chemistry 
valences.  From  all  accounts  he  must  have  been  in 
charge  of  the  Fro-Joy  plant  in  Providence  last  summer. 

He  came  to  us  as  a  gangling  youth,  he  leaves  us 
as  a  self-confident  man.

"Truck"  is  proof  of  the  adage  "you  cannot  judge 
a  book  by  its  cover"  for  beneath  a  somewhat  indiffer- 
ent and  hardboiled  exterior  there  resides  the  heart 
of  a  true  friend.  When  speaking  of  hearts  we 
wonder  if  he  did  not  lose  some  of  his  while  out  in 
Ithaca.  He  is  liked  by  all  who  know  him.  Who 
doesn't  enjoy  that  infrequent  smile  of  his?  We 
should  advise  anyone  to  have  "Truck"  on  their  side 
for  he  is  sure  one  hard  man  to  oppose.  Ask  any 
man  on  the  opposing  football  teams.  He  has  a  great 
love  for  animals  which  fact  will  no  doubt  help  him 
to  show  one  of  the  finest  herds  in  whatever  section 
he  chooses  to  settle  in.

"Charlie"  has  surely  done  a  fine  job  as  president

only  characteristic  of  him. 

Germany  was  afforded  the  pleasure  of  meeting  our 
"Charlie"  last  summer  and  from  all  reports  they  hated 
to  have  him  leave  when  his  placement  came  to  an  end. 
He  found  time  to  mingle  with  German  Society 
although  his  work  was,  for  the  most  part,  with  the 
peasant  class.  On  the  strength  of  some  of  his  stories 
several  of  the  "An  Husers"  have  decided  to  leave 
for  Germany  at  once. 

Cresco,  Pa.,  has  also  quite  a  hold  on  "Charlie."

in  a  world  of  his  own  until  suddenly  he  speaks.  At

Senior  year  by  laboring  at  Flint  Lab.  during  place-

bright  spots  at  Flint  during  the  summer.  His  pop- 
ularity is  well  recognized  at  the  "Inn,"  "Frat"  or  on

"We  have  often  heard  that  Lowell  is  a  mighty  fine 
city.  We  do  not  question  it  when  fellows  like

Two  years  ago,  way  up  in  northern  Vermont,  a 
young  man  by  the  name  of  "Larry"  Jewett  decided 
that  there  was  lack  of  knowledge  of  Animal  Hus-  ■ 
bandry  in  that  region.  In  order  to  save  the  district, 
he  hunted  out  the  trail  to  Massachusetts  and  the' 
Stockbridge  School  of  Agriculture. 

He  has  been  one  of  us  for  two  years  now  and  has 
become  one  of  the  most  popular  "An  Husers." 
"We  have  enjoyed  his  quiet  manner  and  pleasant  smile. 
Since  his  attendance  of  "Prof."  Smart's  English  class, 
we  are  wondering  if  he  might  forsake  the  animals 
for  the  stage.

comes  to  knowing  shrubs  he  has  no  peer.  A  certain

He  is  one  whom  we  feel  confident  will  go  far  in  his

"Art"-  is  one  of  these  fellows  who  inherited  a 
restless  nature  and  finds  it  hard  to  stay  still,  so  his 
folks  sent  him  to  S.  S.  A.  to  see  if  he  couldn't  get 
some  knowledge  on  "Shrubs." 

"Art"  has  certainly  been  a  hard  worker  and  has 
always  had  that  great  spirit  of  never  say  die  until 
you  are  buried.  (He  spent  his  placement  working 
in  a  cemetery).  This  undying  spirit  to  carry  on 
against  all  odds  has  earned  him  the  nickname 
"Curtains." 

Due  to  the  fact  that  "Yngue"  comes  from  the  city 
he  found  it  hard  to  obey  "Big  Ben"  so  his  beloved 
frat  friends  presented  him  with  the  well  known  and 
dependable  country  alarm,  the  rooster.

good  fellow,  capable  of  handling  most  any  situation 
well. 

As  Chairman  of  the  House  Committee  of  our 
Kolony  Klub,  we  see  him  lashing  the  Freshmen  and 
driving  the  Seniors  into  action;  cleaning  the  dirt  and 
papers  from  every  crack  and  crevice,  and  setting  the 
house  in  order.  We  remember  particularly  the  time 
last  winter  when  he  took  a  situation  in  hand  and 
ably  directed  certain  Freshmen  candidates  in  stowing 
away  a  half  cord  of  fire  wood  in  the  cellar  one  night 
at  8;00  P.  M.

Hello  "Bill,"  old  scout,  you  will  certainly  make  a 
good  job  of  Greenkeeping  if  studying  and  a  perfect 
notebook  will  do  it.  How  do  you  find  time  to  work 
with  Cross-country,  Agronomy  Club  and  all,  then  go 
home  every  week  end? 

Some  of  us  have  a  determination  of  purpose  in 
coming  to  Stockbridge  but  "by  cracky,"  you  beat  us 
all  in  applying  it  to  every  day  work.  It  takes  a  good 
man  to  think  of,  and  work  out  worth  while  projects 
on   his   own. 

When  you  can  get  away  from  collecting  circulars 
and  bulletins,  drop  around  and  see  some  of  the  gang, 
we  like  to  talk  with  pals  reaching  the  top  in  their 
chosen  fields.

Is  he  or  is  he  not,  married?  He  insists  that  he  is 
not-  but  when  a  man  goes  home  every  weekend,

agree  with  the  saying  that  "you  might  as  well  take

The  sources  from  which  Gordon  obtained  his  nick- 
names are  quite  obvious  to  all,  because  Red  is 
popular  with  almost  everyone  on  the  campus. 

fust  of  late  "Red''  has  appeared  to  be  all  wrapped 
up  in  his  Horticulture.  He  has  been  heard  to  remark 
about  how  beautiful  the  shrubs,  hills,  flowers,  and 
trees  are— in  fact,  he  has  almost  become  a  poet  and 
already  has  published  his  first  book  of  verse  entitled 
—"Advice  to  the  Love-lorn."  •'Red's'^  theory  is: 
••A  posey  a  day  keeps  romance  in  sway." 

If  the  proverb— ••In  spring  a  young  mans  fancy 
turns  to  love,^'  is  true,  we  cenainly  must  have  had 
an  early  spring  this  year.  "Red"  has  been  walking  on 
air  for  some  time.

Here  is  another  one  of  "them  An,  Husers." 
Differing  from  some  of  that  group,  "Manny"  is  a 
quiet  sort  of  fellow.  Always  to  be  depended  upon, 
he  worked  hard  on  both  the  athletic  field  and  in  the

"Manny"  came  to  us  from  Fairhaven  and  as  far 
as  we  know  he  is  going  back  down  there  to  farm  his 
father's  place.  If  he  keeps  on  after  he  leaves  Amherst

one  of  those  little  boys  about  six  feet  tall  and  weigh- 
ing from  175  lbs.  up.  Although  he  possesses  a  very 
black  beard,  it  belies  his  age  for  he  hasn't  reached 
his  majority. 

He  is  a  kindly,  well  liked  soul,  who  plans  to 
manage  the  estates  of  the  elite  in  the  near  future.

"Duke"  hails  from  the  beautiful  city  of  Vermont 
known  as  Brattleboro  but  we  know  that  he  spends 
most  of  his  week-ends  in  Boston.  To  "Duke"  goes 
the  distinction  of  being  the  first  manager  of  an 
organized  Stockbridge  track  team.  His  record  as 
manager  compared  very  well  with  the  fine  record  of 
the  team. 

One  of  the  reasons  why  "Duke"  is  so  popular  is 
his  unselfish  attitude  towards  his  classmates.  Besides 
his  various  accomplishments  as  an  "An.  Huser"  in 
this  institution,  he  is  without  a  doubt  the  most  out-

wishes.  The  dairy  industry  is  sure  to  benefit  by  his 
genial  smile  and  his  enthusiasm. 

Everyone  will  remember  "Tok"  and  his  basketball

could  never  upset  his  fine  spirit.

we  got  the  greatest  indication  of  his  real  nature.

We  expect  "Bob"  will  some  day  be  quite  a  business

case  when  "Reggie"  purchased  a  Ford  and  headed 
in  the  direction  of  Amherst.  Forced  to  stay  in 
Amherst  due  to  defects  in  "Lizzie,"  he  decided  to 
study  poultry  at   Stockbridge. 

We  often  wondered  when  we  saw  him  traveling 
as  fast  as  he  can  for  Middleboro.  (We  hope  the 
business  is  not  too  serious   "Reggie.") 

"Reggie"  is  a  friendly,  well  liked,  neat  appearing 
young  man  who  is  very  quiet,  even  approaching  the

He  was  Howard  to  us  at  first  because  of  his  shy, 
bashful  first  time  away  from  home  attitude.  Two 
years  at  the  "University"  has  changed  all  this,  however, 
and  now  we  are  glad  to  know  him  as  "Whitey," 
a  real  Stockbridge  man. 

"Whitey"  is  fond  of  the  flaming  red  heads. 
Perhaps  this  desire  for  color  was  one  reason  for  his 
choice  of  fruit  growing  as  a  profession.  We  think 
that  it  is  easier  and  safer  to  deal  with  nice  red  apples, 
"Whitey." 

Reports  indicate  that  he  is  a  hard  working,  ambi- 
tious young  man  who  rarely  sleeps.  Maybe  he 
intends  to  be  Edison  in  the  fruit  line.  Good  luck, 
there  is  always  a  place  for  a  man  who  is  wide  awake.

We  do  not  see  much  of  "Charlie"  on  weekends! 
Business  (?)  trips  to  Springfield  and  occasional  flying 
trips  to  his  home  in  Forestdale  seems  to  use  up  the 
most  of  them. 

All  "kidding"  aside  we  all  like  "Charlie."  He  is

"Bunny"  has  artistic  talent,  and  especially  does 
she  like  to  spend  her  spare  time  drawing  dogs.  She 
has  found  that  she  much  prefers  dogs  to  cows.  Her 
hair  is  cut  shon.  which  is  really  too  bad,  as  she  is 
our  only  blonde;  however,  her  long  dark  lashes 
panially  make  up  for  it.  Her  boyishness  and  mis- 
chievous playfulness  are  famed,  and  yet  she  has  seen 
more  of  life  than  most  of  us.  We  were  all  glad  to 
have  "Bunny"  back  after  absence  of  fall  term,  for 
who  could   help  liking  her? 

Go  to  it.  "Bunny,"  the  "An  Husers"  will  back  you 
to  the  limit.

"Oh  sleep  it  is  a  gentle  thing  beloved  from  pole 
to  pole." 

Arthur,  devout  master  of  his  will  and  high  con- 
victions, is  noted  also  for  his  satire  and  droll  wit 
within  classes  and  about  campus.  Many's  the  time 
he  had  the  whole  class  roaring  in  Business  Law  and 
Rural  Sociology. 

We  hear  that  "Art"  made  good  on  placement  and 
had  quite  a  number  of  men  "under"  him.  We  do 
not  wonder  that  they  want  him  back.  He  is  an 
individual  whose  memorj'  will  linger  with  many  of 
us  as  we  set  out  on  the  great  open  road  to  success.

"O.  K."  as  he  is  commonly  called,  hails  from 
Bridgeport,  Conn.  Having  received  much  training 
in  the  army,  his  posture  as  well  as  his  habits  show 
its  influence.  He  puts  his  heart  and  soul  into  ever)'- 
thing  he  does,  thus  one  reason  for  his  good  marks. 

"O.  K."  tried  football  the  first  year  and  showed 
good  promise  but  was  forced  to  give  up  either 
"hashing"  or  football  and  so  gave  up  the  latter.  A 
clean  sport,  a  hard  fighter  but  beneath  it  all  a  real 
friend.  "O.  K."  would  do  anything  for  anyone. 
He's  got  a  good  head  on  his  shoulders  and  time  will 
only  tell  how  big  a  success  he  will  be.

Although  his  major  together  with  his  offices  have 
kept  him  pretty  busy,  he  did  manage  to  find  time  now 
and  then  to  visit  the  town  of  Easthampton  and  certain 
people  therein.  Perhaps  his  liking  for  potato  chips 
accounts  for  his  trips  over  there  rather  than  just  the

doin  and  a  great 


It  was   a  sad   day  for 
in    the    history    of    the    poultry    department    when 
"Queenie"   left  Maine  and  came  down  and   entered 
Stockbridge. 

Boy!  does  that  man  know  his  chickens?  Why 
shouldn't  he,  he  studies  them  day  and  night  (?). 

First  we  saw  a  yellow  and  green  Ford  roadster, 
then  a  big  fur  coat  and  finally  a  face.  The  face 
belonged  to  "Queenie."  Always  slick  and  span  and 
wearing  the  best  of  clothes  "Queenie"  added  much  to 
the  dignity  of  the  school.

Fellows: — 

Life  has  been  good  to  us,  some  shadow,  but  a  good  deal  of  sunlight.  We  are 
aged  and  eighty,  sitting  in  front  of  an  open  fireplace  letting  the  heat  warm  our 
rheumatic  old  joints — drifting,  dreaming  through  the  days  spent  at  Stockbridge.  Faces 
and  figures  appearing  in  the  flames  join  us  in  a  belated  "bull  session"  to  recall  long 
forgotten  fun. 

Say,  remember  when  we  first  landed  there  in  '30?  We  were  sort  of  lost  then, 
but  the  faculty  threw  a  couple  of  banquets  at  the  "Hash  House,"  and  the  Profs,  made 
speeches.  The  meals  were  good,  too.  Then  the  "Y  M"  gave  a  party  at  the  "Mem" 
building.  That  was  fun.  The  seniors  were  there,  and  some  kind  of  punch,  too — 
but  it  was  too  sweet.  The  only  trouble  with  that  party  was  the  "fewness"  of  girls. 
The  ones  who  were  there  sure  danced,  though  they  didn't  get  any  peace. 

'Member  the  hike  to  Mt.  Toby?     Shucks,  I  wore  out  a  new  pair  of  boots  that  day. 

What  a  football  team  we  had  that  year — won  all  but  two  games,  and  tied  one 
of  those.     We  got  Deerfield  the  next  year  though — and  how! 

Say,  remember  how  we  got  tired  of  waiting  for  the  seniors  to  give  us  a  dance? 
We  beat  them  to  it  and  gave  them  one — in  the  "Mem"  Building.  Then  they  got 
around  to  having  one  for  us. 

What  did  you  do  on  Placement  Training?  "Geez!  I  was  way  off  in  the  sticks, 
nothing  doing  a-tall."  "I  had  a  good  time — the  boss's  daughter  was  dang  pretty." 
"All  I  did  was  pull  weeds." 

The  old  campus  looked  good  after  six  months — back  to  books,  and — sure,  don't 
forget  the  "Abby." 

Didn't  the  team  get  banged  up  the  last  year?  But  on  the  whole  we  had  a 
successful  season — for  didn't  we  take  our  ancient  enemy  into  camp?  19-0 — Wheeee! 
Remember  the  freshman  who  characterized  the  "Stockbridge  Squire"  song?  Hip  boots, 
overgrown  pipe,  and  wide-brimmed  flat-crowned  hat — that  was  good. 

And  how  about  the  hat  rush?  That  was  good  clean  fun,  with  plenty  of  rough- 
house.  My  favorite  position  was  horizontal — and  having  six  crazy  freshmen  doing  a 
war  dance  up  and  down  my  spine.     Yea — they  won. 

But  we  didn't  let  the  freshmen  get  ahead  of  us  on  the  dance  though — we  gave  them 
one  in  the  Drill  Hall,  then  they  returned  it  in  the  "Mem"  Building. 

After  that  came  Easter  'Vacation,  and  when  we  returned  there  were  no  freshmen 
— sorta  missed  seeing  them  around. 

The  last  term!  Frat  dances — the  picnic — the  last  banquet — the  play — graduation 
day — Prom. — Pals — .   .   .

The  class  of  '33  entered  the  Stockbridge  School  with  the  same  hopes  and  expecta- 
tions as  previous  classes  of  the  institution.  As  the  school  lived  up  to  these  previous 
,  classes,  so  it  has  with  us. 

Upon  enrollment  we  were  found  to  be  one  hundred  and  fifty-nine  strong,  seven  of 
our  number  being  women.  We  were  one  of  the  largest  entering  classes  in  the  history 
of  the  school.  Our  aim  is  to  gain  the  added  distinction  of  being  one  of  the  finest.  The 
first  few  days  on  the  campus  consisted  of  being  initiated  to  the  new  environment, 
causing  bewilderment,  surprise,  and  delight.  The  difficulties  and  achievements  we 
experienced  were  those  of  any  normal  freshmen  group.  Our  dignity  was  somewhat 
lessened  by  the  necessity  of  wearing  those  little  blue  caps  signifying  frosh,  but  we  soon 
became  accustomed  to  them.  In  fact  so  vital  a  part  of  our  person  that  we  would  have 
felt  lost  and  unnatural  without  them — as  we  did  for  a  period  following  the  hat  rush 
which  marked  the  end  of  the  compulsory  wearing  of  this  head  gear.  Then,  too,  we 
found  it  a  very  worthwhile  policy  to  show  a  great  deal  of  awe  and  respect  (at  least 
in  public)  for  the  Senior  members  of  the  school.  This  soon  vanished,  however,  and 
was  replaced  by  a  sincere  feeling  of  appreciation  and  respect  for  the  upper  classmen. 
They  proved  to  be  friends  of  the  finest  type.  We  certainly  found  the  class  of  '32  a 
fine  group  of  young  men  and  women. 

At  the  final  election  the  following  were  chosen  to  represent  the  class  in  the 
capacity  of  class  officers :  president,  John  Turner ;  vice-president,  Carl  Frank ;  secretary, 
Raymond  A.  Shulander;  treasurer,  Barbara  Desoe. 

In  athletics  and  other  extra  activities  the  freshmen  took  active  and  prominent 
part.  The  football  and  basketball  teams  were  made  up  largely  of  freshmen.  This 
should  add  greatly  to  the  strength  of  these  teams  next  year.  The  same  is  true  of  the 
hockey  squad,  although  due  to  the  weather  conditions  only  one  game  was  played. 

Two  dances  were  given  during  the  winter  term  by  the  school,  one  by  the  freshmen 
class  and  one  by  the  senior  class.     Each  occasion  was  well  attented  and  enjoyed  by  all. 

Our  term  of  study  on  the  campus  has  now  drawn  to  a  close  and  we're  all 
looking  forward  to  placement  training.  In  a  few  days  actual,  practical  work  will 
replace  and  supplement  the  class  and  laboratory  exercises,  the  first  term  of  which  we 
have  just  completed.  Our  class  will  be  scattered  throughout  New  England  and  in 
some  cases  even  beyond  the  New  England  borders.  Freshmen  will  live  and  study 
in  different  localities,  meeting  different  people  and  encountering  different  experiences. 
And  six  months  hence  when  we  rejoin  each  other  in  Amherst  we  should  have  gained 
a  great  many  things  from  this  training  that  will  aid  us  in  making  our  last  year  at 
Stockbridge  even  better  than  our  first. 

The  curtain  now  falls  on  one  of  the  happiest  and  most  worthwhile  periods  of 
our  lives,  our  first  year  at  Stockbridge — we  depart  but  will  return  next  year  to 
carry  on. 

Herbert  Stone.

With  the  opening  of  the  Fall  Term  the  S.  C.  S.,  despite  its  smallness  began  what 
turned  out  to  be  a  pleasant  and  most  enjoyable  year.  Seven  old  members  returned  and 
seven  new  members  were  taken  into  the  Sorority. 

The  freshmen  were  given  their  first  taste  of  the  Sorority  social  life  on  October 
third,  when  the  organization  held  a  picnic  in  Whatley  Glen.  Miss  Hamlin  and  Miss 
Foley  attended  as  guests. 

On  Friday,  October  30,  the  Freshman  Initiation  was  held. 

During  the  fall  term  a  good  old  fashioned  cider  and  doughnut  party  and  dance 
was  given.     This  proved  to  be  a  very  enjoyable  occasion. 

The  winter  term  opened  with  a  bang  and  continued  with  much  jollity  and  laughter. 
A  party  was  held  in  Draper  Hall  with  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Smart  acting  as  chaperones.  During 
this  term  new  officers  were  elected  for  the  coming  year.  The  following  officers  were 
elected:  President,  Carol  A.  Rider;  vice-president,  Barbara  E.  P.  Desoe;  treasurer, 
Virginia  Reed;  secretary,  Ethel  B.  Carroll;  sergeant-at-arms,  Barbara  E.  P.  Desoe. 

The  annual  S.  C.  S.  Banquet  was  held  this  year  at  Bate's  Inn  with  Miss  Hamlin, 
the  Sorority  advisor,  and  Miss  Foley  as  guests  of  honor. 

Thus  ended  the  social  activities  of  the  S.  C.  S.  for  the  year  1931-32.

September  28th,  an  eventful  day  in  the  lives  of  the  21  active  members  who  returned 
to  carry  on  for  Kolony  Klub.  The  metamorphosis  from  neophytes  to  seniors  had  been 
completed  after  six  months  of  placement  training,  the  final  act  in  our  first  year  as 
Stockbridge  men.  Preparations  were  immediately  begun  to  welcome  the  Freshmen  on 
Open  House  Night,  which  occurred  on  Sept.  30.  A  well  filled  house  that  enjoyed  the 
Home  talent  acts  put  on,  repaid  our  efforts.  Oct.  10th,  bids  were  sent  out  and  ten  of 
the  recipients  accepted. 

Keeping  in  mind  our  K.  K.  customs,  "Prof.  Nite"  was  held  every  Sunday  during 
the  first  term.  The  enthusiasm  displayed  at  these  gatherings  and  the  interest  between 
Professor  and  student  brought  out  by  them,  made  "Prof.  Nite"  something  to  look 
forward  to. 

The  Initiation  Banquet  was  held  Oct.  31,  graced  by  five  members  of  the  Faculty 
and  Alumni,  who  helped  the  active  members  make  the  evening  a  memorable  one  for 
the  Freshmen. 

For  social  entertainment  two  "Vic"  parties  were  held  as  well  as  the  aforementioned 
banquet.     A  new  Majestic  radio  and  "Vic"  combination  furnished  the  music. 

Our  second  rushing  season  ushered  in  the  Winter  term.  Of  the  bids  sent  out, 
nine  men  accepted  and  were  initiated.  Later  on  in  the  term  five  more  bids  were  sent 
out  and  accepted,  which  closed  our  Freshman  bidding. 

Our  Winter  House  Dance  was  held  in  collaboration  with  A.  T.  G.,  at  the  Lord 
Jeffrey  Inn  on  Feb.  26th.  Two  more  "Vic"  parties,  in  Feb.  and  March,  completed  our 
dancing  program  outlined  for  this  term.  The  latter,  a  Valentine  Day  event,  furnished 
an  opportunity  to  decorate  the  House  in  the  spirit  of  the  occasion. 

The  Farewell  Banquet,  which  climaxed  our  contact  with  the  Freshmen,  was  attended 
by  Director  Verbeck  and  21  members  of  the  Faculty  and  several  Alumni.  Despite  that 
"all  gone"  feeling  any  Farewell  Banquet  is  apt  to  bring  on,  the  evening  was  most 
successful  and  thoroughly  enjoyed  by  all. 

The  last  term  brought  out  our  training  in  some  branches  with  the  maintenance  work 
done  on  the  grounds  about  the  house.  Two  more  "Vic"  parties,  April  1st  and  23rd, 
kept  the  active  members  socially  prepared  for  the  final  dance  of  the  year,  and  what 
proved  to  be  an  evening  that  will  long  be  remembered. 

Commencement  week-end  was  appropriately  begun  by  our  Formal  House  Dance, 
Friday,  June  3rd,  with  music  furnished  by  "Irv"  Guyer  and  his  orchestra  from 
Springfield.  As  a  closing  gesture  to  our  social  life,  it  left  nothing  to  be  desired.  The 
future  will  often  be  gladdened  by  memories  of  this  night. 

Our  year  is  ended,  and  with  regret,  but  in  the  passing,  most  thoroughly  enjoyed 
and  profitably  spent.  The  education  derived  and  contacts  made  will  ever  serve  to 
remind  us  of  the  days  at  Kolony  Klub  and  Stockbridge,  two  years  of  utmost  joy  and 
happiness.  And  so  we  write  "Finis"  with  a  last  wish  of  good  luck  to  Kolony  Klub 
and  the  incoming  seniors.     May  their  year  be  one  of  joy  and  good  fortune  in  every  way.

Another  year  is  past  and  now  another  page  is  added  to  the  history  of  Alpha  Tau 
Gamma.  Under  able  leadership  and  cooperation  of  all  the  members  A.  T.  G.,  has 
made  excellent  progress.  The  house  was  reopened  and  occupied  by  the  new  delegation 
on  Sunday,  September  27,  and  attention  turned  at  once  to  the  pledging  of  new  members. 
Wednesday,  the  30th,  we  held  the  annual  smoker  and  house  warming.  Eight  seniors 
and  sixteen  freshmen  received  initiation. 

The  club  held  its  annual  initiation  banquet  this  year  at  the  Hotel  Northampton 
on  the  evening  of  November  12.  The  greeting  of  the  seniors  was  extended  by 
L.  Ivan  Bruce,  to  which  John  M.  Turner  responded  for  the  initiates.  All  of  us 
enjoyed  an  interesting  program  with  Professors  Ralph  A.  Van  Meter,  Victor  A.  Rice, 
Rollin  H.  Barrett  and  Instructor  Harold  W.  Smart  as  faculty  speakers.  "Bud"  Davis 
was  at  his  best  with  wit,  and  all  enjoyed  the  program  of  entertainment  interspersed  with 
song  and  other  musical  numbers. 

Work  in  and  about  the  house  was  carefully  carried  on  by  Leonard  Burnham, 
chairman  of  the  house  committee.  Shrubbery  was  set  out,  the  summer  collection  of 
junk  moved  away  and  the  lawn  was  fixed  up.  Inside  we  had  regular  "house  cleanings" 
and  the  fireplace  room  made  into  a  trophy  and  banner  room  having  in  it  a  register  for 
alumni  who  come  back.  The  walls  were  covered  with  college  and  A.  T.  G.  banners, 
framed  campus  pictures,  and  freshman  hats.  Each  of  the  study  rooms  had  cleaning 
schedules  which  were  enforced. 

Several  improvements  were  made  on  the  house.  The  upstairs  bathroom  received 
an  over-hauling  and  a  coat  of  paint.  At  the  end  of  the  winter  term  the  downstairs 
floor  underwent  complete  rejuvenation.  The  old  wall  and  wiring  was  replaced  by 
new.    The  floor  was  jacked  up  and  leveled,  then  a  new  hardwood  floor  laid  and  polished. 

It  hasn't  been  all  work  here  tho.  We  have  had  our  good  times  in  big  ways. 
The  Club  held  its  annual  fall  house  dance  at  the  Women's  Club.  Next  term  came 
the  inter-fraternity  house  dance  with  K.  K.,  February  26  at  the  Lord  Jeff.  This 
,dance  was  one  of  the  most  pleasant  events  of  the  year  and  will  be  remembered  for 
a  long  time  by  all  of  us. 

Inter-fraternity  competition  was  started  again  this  year  but  due  to  complications 
which  arose  in  getting  the  cage  for  our  activities  we  were  unable  to  terminate  the 
events.  "Tommy"  O'Connor,  chairman  of  the  Sunday  night  programs  committee, 
opened  a  series  of  weekly  entertainments.  Among  them  was  Mr.  Shaugnessy  of  the 
American  Federation  of  Magicians,  movies  of  the  Stockbridge-Deerfield  football  game 
and  one  Sunday  evening  was  devoted  to  "Prof's  night."  Several  members  of  the 
faculty  were  guests  of  the  house  and  enjoyed  a  sociable  evening  in  an  informal  way. 

Thursday  evening,  March  3,  the  seniors  gave  the  freshman  a  farewell  banquet 
at  the  Hotel  Northampton.  An  interesting  and  enjoyable  program  was  followed  by 
election  of  officers  of  the  new  delegation.  "Teddy"  Wyckoff  was  elected  president 
for  the  coming  year. 

But  time  doesn't  stand  still  and  Commencement  came  with  its  hurry,  fluster,  and 
excitement.  Now  we  join  the  ranks  of  those  who  look  backward — and  remember. 
A.  T.  G.  means  so  much  to  all  of  us,  its  contacts,  the  fellowship  of  being  and  living 
together,  and  the  everlasting  friendships  we've  made,  all  blend  to  give  us  the  infinite 
something  that  will  always  be  with  us, — that  we  can  never  forget. 

Thomas  L.  Abbott.

Lorin  E.  Ball,  better  known  to  the  Stockbridge  group  as  "Red,"  graduated  from 
Massachusetts  Agricultural  College  in  1921.  As  an  undergraduate  "Red"  was  vitally 
interested  in  athletics,  winning  his  letter  in  baseball  and  basketball.  He  has  continued 
in  the  field  of  work  he  has  liked  best.  Since  graduation  he  has  served  the  institution 
in  the  capacity  of  an  athletic  assistant  and  in  1924  he  was  assigned  as  instructor  in 
Physical  Education  in  charge  of  the  Stockbridge  School  football  and  basketball  squads. 
With  the  opening  of  the  new  Physical  Education  Building  in  the  fall  of  1931,  and  the 
appointment  of  Coach  Mel  Taube  to  the  college  staff  as  football  and  basketball  coach, 
Instructor  Ball  was  placed  in  full  charge  of  the  Physical  Education  program  of  Stock- 
bridge.     He  is  a  coach,  an  official  par  excellence  and  above  all  else  a  real  teacher. 

A  thorough  master  of  his  subject,  tireless  in  his  efforts  to  make  details  clear,  he 
has  had  marked  success  with  the  athletic  teams  and  the  recreation  work  of  the  Stock- 
bridge  School.  He  is  generous  and  loyal  to  a  fault  and  whole  heartedly  devoted  to 
his  work.  "Red"  is  respected  and  liked  by  all  those  who  come  in  contact  with  him, 
and  under  his  guidance  the  Stockbridge  teams  have  exemplified  the  highest  in  sports- 
manship and  athletic  ideals. 

"Where's  Red?"  is  one  of  the  common  expressions  when  Stockbridge  Alumni 
return  for  commencement,  and  is  indicative  of  the  esteem  and  popularity  he  has  attained.

Coach  Ball  had  a  squad  of  fifty  odd  football  aspirants  when  school  opened  but 
injuries  soon  claimed  over  twelve  of  them.  Everything  seemed  to  point  to  a  successful 
season  as  "Red"  had  four  letter  men  as  a  nucleus  and  several  more  promising  senior 
and  freshmen  candidates  to  fill  in  with.  Assistant  Coach  Tuttle  took  charge  of  the 
second  squad  as  he  did  last  year.  Several  of  his  charges  joined  the  varsity  squad 
later  in  the  season. 

HARTFORD  27— S.  S.  A.  6 

Stockbridge  opened  its  1931  football  season  with  Hartford  High  at  Hartford. 
Coach  Ball  was  undecided  as  to  what  combination  to  start  and  made  many  replacements 
during  the  game. 

Hartford  showed  her  superiority  early  in  the  game  and  gained  at  will  thru  a 
heavier  but  unexperienced  Stockbridge  line.  The  High  School  boys  scored  three  touch- 
downs in  the  first  half  while  Captain  Robinson's  team  could  do  no  better  than  reach 
the  20  yard  line  where  it  lost  the  ball  on  a  signal  mix-up.  Hartford  scored  again  early 
in  the  third  period  to  put  the  score  at  27 — 0.  Late  in  the  third  period,  with  Skelton 
carrying  the  brunt  of  the  attack,  Stockbridge  made  their  only  score.  The  final  period 
was  scoreless  with  neither  team  being  able  to  advance  the  ball  for  any  substantial  gain. 

This  game  was  rather  disastrous  as  two  first  string  men  were  lost  for  the  remainder 
of  the  season.

S.  S.  A.  12— CATHEDRAL  6 

Stockbridge  opened  its  home  season  October  16,  by  entertaining  Cathedral  high 
of  Springfield  on  Alumni  Field.  Many  new  faces  were  seen  in  the  Stockbridge  lineup 
as  some  of  the  first  team  players  were  temporarily  incapacitated. 

Cathedral  presented  her  usual  stubborn  defense,  keeping  the  local  boys  from  scoring 
until  the  middle  of  the  second  period.  In  this  surge  Frank  and  Skelton  carried  the  ball 
seventy  yards  on  oflf  tackle  plays  and  wedges.  Early  in  the  third  period  with  Skelton 
and  Robinson  as  chief  factors,  Stockbridge  started  a  midfield  drive  which  terminated 
when  Skelton  crossed  the  goal  line  standing  up,  on  a  "quick  opening  play"  from  the 
five  yard  line.  Captain  Robinson  gained  the  extra  point  on  a  cross-back.  At  this  point 
Cathedral  showed  a  punch  and  scored  late  in  the  third  period  after  several  exchanges 
of  punts. 

Neither  team  scored  in  the  final  period  although  the  Blue  and  White  were  con- 
tinually the  aggressor. 

C.  A.  C.  "FROSH"  31— S.  S.  A.  7 

Connecticut  "Aggie  Frosh"  journeyed  from  Storrs,  October  23.  to  meet  Stockbridge 
in  the  second  home  game.  The  "Frosh"  presented  a  formidable  line-up  in  hopes  of 
avenging  last  year's  defeat. 

The  visitors  started  off  by  marching  the  length  of  the  field  with  an  ease  that  bid  ill 
for  the  locals.  To  everyone's  surprise  Stockbridge  retaliated  in  the  same  manner  with 
Faszczewski  finally  scoring  on  an  end  run  of  ten  yards.  Frank  captured  the  extra 
point  with  a  wedge.  The  "Frosh"  dominated  in  the  second  period  by  virtue  of  a 
seventy-five  yard  run  back  by  Lucani,  visiting  quarterback.  In  the  third  period  Lucani 
again  ran  wild  through  a  dazed  Stockbridge  team,  scoring  twice  more.  Late  in  the 
final  period  Stockbridge  regained  confidence  and  started  a  drive  which  fell  five  yards , 
short  of  the  goal  line  as  the  final  whistle  sounded. 

Robinson  and  Carpenter  excelled  for  Stockridge  while  Lucani  of  the  "Frosh"  was 
undoubtedly  the  outstanding  man  on  the  field. 

S.  S.  A    7— WILLISTON  7 

On  October  30,  Stockbridge  and  Williston  fought  to  a  tie  as  a  result  of  a  touched 
ball  being  recovered  by  Williston  end  behind  the  Stockbridge  goal  line. 

Stockbridge  scored  early  in  the  opening  period  after  a  number  of  scintillating 
runs  by  Frank.  One  of  these,  an  end  run  of  fifteen  yards,  resulted  in  a  touchdown. 
Frank  also  converted  the  extra  point  on  a  faked  pass.  Here  the  Blue  and  White  settled 
down  and  contented  themselves  with  holding  an  outweighted  and  inferior  team.  In 
the  final  period  McGouigle,  Academy  fullback,  punted  deep  into  the  Stockbridge  terri- 
tory where  the  ball  was  touched  by  a  "sub"  quarterback  and  allowed  to  roll  into  the 
end  zone,  Shaw,  Williston  right-end,  recovered  for  a  touchdown.  Clark,  Academy 
half-back,  dropkicked  for  the  extra  point.  The  game  ended  with  Stockbridge  putting 
on  a  determined  drive  for  a  touchdown. 

NEW  BRITAIN  44— S.  S.  A.  0 

Stockbridge  journeyed  to  New  Britain,  Connecticut,  on  November  7,  to  receive  one 
of  the  worst  lacings  ever  administered  to  a  team  coached  by  "Red"  Bail.  Stockbridge 
was  smothered  under  an  avalanche  of  touchdowns.  Bay  lock,  scoring  three  times  was 
the  chief  ofi^endor. 

The  Blue  and  White  featured  a  line  that  a  strong  breeze  would  have  knocked  over 
and  a  secondary  that  forgot  to  tackle  all  afternoon.  Most  of  the  touchdowns  came  as 
a  result  of  off  tackle  plays  in  which  the  ball  carriers  ran  unmolested  thru  the  entire 

92 


team  without  a  Stockbridge  man  leaving  his  feet.  New  Btitain  started  her  second 
team  but  soon  withdrew  them  in  favor  of  the  first  team,  as  Stockbridge  showed  power 
in  the  opening  minutes.  Wedges  were  the  only  plays  that  gained  for  Stockbridge, 
these  often  resulting  in  first  downs. 

S.  S.  A.  7— SPRINGFIELD  "FROSH"  3 

Stockbridge  further  added  to  the  misery  of  the  dopesters  in  defeating  the  undefeated 
and  highly  touted  Springfield  "Frosh"  eleven  Nov.  14,  at  Springfield. 

Stockbridge  showed  a  complete  reversal  of  form  and  overcame  the  odds  to  hold 
the  "Frosh"  on  even  terms  during  the  first  two  periods  and  to  show  the  way  throughout 
the  last  two  stanzas. 

Gavoni  put  Springfield  into  the  lead  early  in  the  opening  period  with  a  30  yard 
placement  boot.  After  this  the  ball  remained  in  enemy  territory  while  Stockbridge 
hammered  a  practically  immovable  "Frosh"  line  with  very  little  success.  Kovar's  long 
spirals  kept  Springfield  continually  on  the  defense.  Midway  through  the  final  period 
Stockbridge  forced  herself  into  a  favorable  scoring  position.  Skelton  passed  to  Jaeger 
for  a  twenty  yard  gain  which  brought  the  ball  to  the  ten  yard  line.  After  a  series  of 
line  bucks  which  failed  to  gain  Skelton  again  passed  to  Jaeger  who  stepped  across  the 
goal  line.  Skelton  scored  the  extra  point  on  a  line  buck.  Springfield  spent  the  remain- 
ing moments  in  throwing  futile  passes. 

S.  S.  A.  19— Deerfield  0 

Realizing  that  the  undefeated  Academy  team  would  provide  the  toughest  of  oppo- 
sition, Stockbridge  journied  to  Deerfield  with  a  spirit  and  a  self  confidence  that  could 
not  be  denied. 

Showing  a  vicious  offensive  and  the  same  type'  of  defensive  play  used  against 
Springfield  "Frosh",  the  Stockbridge  boys  swept  over  a  fighting  Deerfield  team  to  the 
tune  of  19 — 0.  Stockbridge  made  eleven  first  downs  and  a  total  of  288  yards  against 
two  first  downs  and  80  yards  for  the  Green  team. 

With  Skelton  and  Robinson  carrying  the  brunt  of  the  attack  the  ball  was  brought 
from  midfield  to  the  Academy  two  yard  line  by  a  series  of  power  plays,  where,  after 
being  held  for  three  downs,  Skelton,  Stockbridge  quarterback,  crashed  through  for  the 
initial  score  of  the  game.  Faszczewski  intercepted  a  pass  mid-way  through  the  third 
period  and  ran  thirty  yards  for  the  second  touchdown  of  the  game.  Martin  advanced 
the  ball  fifteen  yards,  to  the  five  yard  marker,  after  intercepting  a  forward  pass.  Skelton 
crashed  through  for  the  final  touchdown  while  Frank  gained  the  extra  point. 

Thus  Stockbridge  terminated  a  successful  season  by  gaining  the  first  victory  over  Deer- 
field in  eleven  years  of  rivalry. 

The  following  men  received  letters:  '32 — Urban  Charles,  Framingham;  E.  Warren

HOPKINS  ACADEMY  8— STOCKBRIDGE  6 

The  1932  Stockbridge  Basketball  team  played  its  first  game,  January  11,  on  the 
new  floor  in  the  college  cage.  Hopkins  Academy  finally  won  out  in  a  slow  and  uninter- 
esting game. 

DEERFIELD  ACADEMY  45— STOCKBRIDGE  28 

Deerfield  Academy  came  down  to  the  college  on  the  night  of  the  26th  with  the 
determination  to  partially  avenge  her  football  defeat.  The  Stockbridge  team  was  over- 
whelmed the  first  half.  The  score  at  the  half  being  Deerfield  Academy  32 — Stockbridge 
■j.  The  second  half  was  more  closely  contested,  chiefly  because  of  the  scoring  of  14 
points  by  Hagelburg. 

AGAWAM  H.  S.  28— STOCKBRIDGE  4 

Stockbridge  fell  an  easy  victim  to  a  strong  Agawam  team  in  the  third  game  of  the 
year.  Unable  to  score  through  the  Agawam  defense,  our  team  was  held  to  four  points 
by  fouls. 


ITDXI 


SMITH  AGGIES  17— STOCKBRIDGE  37 
Stockbridge  won  its  first  game  by  defeating  Smith  Aggies  of  Northampton.   Leading 
only  14-11  at  the  end  of  the  first  half,  Stockbridge  started  a  scoring  streak  at  the  opening 
of  the  second  half  that  couldn't  be  headed.     Livermore  was  high  scorer. 

AMHERST  H.  S.  9— STOCKBRIDGE  12 

Led  by  Livermore,  Stockbridge  won  a  low  scoring  game  from  the  high  school  boys. 
Amherst  held  to  two  baskets  from  the  floor,  could  not  penetrate  the  Stockbridge  defense. 
One  of  the  best  crowds  of  the  season  attended  this.  game. 

DEERFIELD  HIGH  24— STOCKBRIDGE  13 
Piling  up  a  lead  of  17-2  at  the  end  of  the  first  half,  Deerfield  High  proved  to  be 
too  much  for  the  Stockbridge  men.     "With  Hagelburg  leading  the  attack  during  the 
last  half,  Stockbridge  out-scored  their  opponents  but  were  unable  to  top  them. 

PALMER  H.  S.  26— STOCKBRIDGE  22 
Palmer  came  from  behind  to  win  a  close  and  interesting  game.     Woodward  led 
on  the  scoring  for  Stockbridge. 

BAY  PATH  COMMERCIAL  49— STOCKBRIDGE  23 
The  Stockbridge  men  lacked  team  work  thus  they  lost  a  slow  moving  game  to 
Bay  Path.     Capt.  Toko  played  a  fine  game  for  Stockbridge.     The  game  was  rather  rough 
and  Stockbridge  scored  many  of  its  points  on  fouls. 

WILLISTON  23— STOCKBRIDGE  18 

Playing  their  first  game  away  from  home  our  team  seemed  to  be  a  little  wobbly 
during  the  first  half,  the  score  at  the  end  being  Williston  20 — Stockbridge  6.  Coming 
back  fast  in  the  second  half,  Stockbridge  caused  Williston  quite  a  bit  of  trouble.  With 
Capt.  Toko  and  Hagelburg  running  up  the  points  the  game  became  fast  and  furious. 
It  was  anybody's  game  until  the  final  whistle. 

TURNERS  FALLS  H.  S.   57— STOCKBRIDGE  5 

Stockbridge  received  the  severest  set  back  of  the  season  at  Turners  Falls  in  a  game 
with  the  Turners  Falls  H.  S.  Outclassed  and  handicapped  by  an  unusually  slippery 
floor,  the  team  still  fought  to  the  end. 

ST.  ANSELM'S  PREP.  33— STOCKBRIDGE  18 
With  a  brand  of  basketball  that  was  far  better  than  average,  the  Stockbridge  team 
held  a  fast  moving  St.  Anselm's  team  to  no  score  during  the  first  quarter.  St.  Anselm's 
with  its  wholesale  substitutions  gradually  got  going,  the  score  at  the  half  being  9 — 9- 
But  for  brilliant  work  by  Foulsham  and  Livermore  in  the  final  half,  the  game  might 
well  have  become  a  walk-away,  as  St.  Anselm's  Prep  was  working  smoothly  and  scoring 
many  long  shots. 

The  line-up  for  Stockbridge  was  as  follows:  Captain,  Toko;  Foulsham,  r.  f . ;  Wood- 
ward and  Webb,  1.  f. ;  Shulander  and  Foulsham,  r.  g. ;  Livermore  and  Doskotz,  I.  g. ; 
Hagelberg,  c. 

Foulsham  was  elected  captain  for  the  following  year.

A  very  successful  hockey  season  was  anticipated  this  year  as  practically  an  entire 
veteran  team  reported  to  Coach  "Mel"  Taube  at  the  beginning  of  the  season.  Unfortu- 
nately the  depression  overtook  us  also  and  as  a  result  we  were  only  able  to  play  one  game. 

Deerfield  Academy  came  down  to  play  us  with  the  advantage  of  having  played 
several  games.  We  jumped  into  the  lead  at  the  outset  but  Deerfield  triumphed  in  the 
end,  6 — 2  in  a  better  played  game  than  the  score  indicates.  Our  men  lacked  endurance, 
a  result  of  their  being  on  ice  but  three  times  during  the  season.

Last  fall  five  of  the  six  original  men  came  back  determined  to  put  Stockbridge 
cross-countty  on  the  map.  Several  new  seniors  and  a  fine  group  of  freshmen  built  up 
the  squad  to  over  20  by  the  middle  of  October.  The  enthusiasm  was  so  great  that 
Coach  Derby  had  to  arrange  for  three  meets  in  order  for  the  men  to  burn  up  some  of 
their  surplus  energy. 

On  October  29,  the  Amherst  Freshmen  came  and  raced  our  team  over  our  own 
course.  This  race  uncovered  one  exceptionally  good  runner  in  the  person  of  a  Stock- 
bridge  freshman  by  the  name  of  Harold  J.  Pearson.  He  romped  home  easily  to  win 
first  place.  A  strong  group  of  runners  followed  to  lend  sufficient  strength  to  win 
the  race  by  the  score  of  221/^ — 45%.  Batchelor,  a  newcomer  from  the  senior  class, 
came  in  strong  to  place  third. 

With  the  record  of  their  first  win  in  mind,  a  confident  and  determined  group  of 
Stockbridge  men  traveled  up  to  Amherst  College  to  race  their  Junior  Varsity.  With 
Harold  J.  Pearson  coasting  along  to  place  first,  Ralph  Dick  coming  thru  to  capture  fourth 
place  and  then  four  other  Stockbridge  men  coming  in  in  close  order,  the  team  again 
showed  both  individual  and  team  strength.  The  score  was  23 — 39  in  Stockb ridge's 
favor. 

The  final  meet  of  the  year  was  a  five  sided  one  between  the  Amherst  "Frosh"  and 
J.  Vs.,  the  Mass.  State  "Frosh"  and  "Jr.  V's,"  and  Stockbridge.     This  was  by  far  the 

97 


hardest  race  of  the  year  as  more  than  sixty  men  were  running  together.  Though  Mass. 
State  "Frosh"  team  won  the  race  by  quite  a  margin,  the  Stockbridge  men  can  feel  more 
than  proud  of  their  showing  for  they  furnished  about  all  of  the  competition.  Harold  J. 
Pearson  gave  the  winner  a  hard  battle,  finishing  a  close  second.  Capt.  L.  E.  Pearson, 
the  second  Stockbridge  man  to  finish,  captured  seventh  place,  while  several  others  were 
but  a  short  way  behind.  All  the  times  were  fast,  the  first  man  breaking  the  course 
record  by  about  20  seconds.  The  score  was  Mass.  State  "Frosh"  23,  Stockbridge  55, 
Amherst  Junior  Varsity  123,  Amherst  "Frosh"  132,  and  Mass.  State  Junior  Varsity 
150. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  season  the  Stockbridge  athletic  board  voted  to  recognize 
cross  country  as  a  sport  and  awarded  letters  to  the  following  men,  Capt.  L.  E.  Pearson, 
H.  J.  Pearson,  Douglas  Batchelor,  Emil  Jaeschke,  and  H.  Bishop. 

Numerals  were  awarded  to  W.  Perkins,  Ralph  Dick,  S.  Mistarka,  P.  Koistinen,  and 
Charles  Hendrick  and  to  the  assistant  managers  Sullivan,  Nye,  and  Vuornos. 

The  captain-elect  for  next  fall's  team  is  Hagelburg  and  the  manager-elect  is 
Milton  Swanson.

At  the  beginning  of  the  winter  term  Coach  Derby  sent  forth  a  call  for  candidates 
for  the  Stockbridge  track  team.     About  thirty  men  reported  and  started  limbering  up. 

The  first  meet  was  with  the  Amherst  "Sophs".  On  account  of  the  "Sophs"  more 
balanced  squad,  Stockbridge  was  outscored  85 — 47.  Two  Stockbridge  men,  Stedman,  '32, 
and  Pearson,  '33,  starred,  however,  and  together  scored  most  of  their  team's  points. 
Stedman  with  21  points  was  high  scorer. 

On  February  15th  the  Amherst  "Frosh"  came  across  town  to  pay  a  visit.  Again 
the  factor  cf  team  balance  came  into  play  and  Stockbridge  was  again  defeated.  Stedman 
came  through  as  usual  and  received  the  highest  score  of  the  afternoon. 

The  last  meet  was  with  the  Mass.  State  "Frosh".  The  "Frosh"  team  proved  to  be 
an  easy  victim,  Stockbridge  winning  with  a  score  of  75 — 50.  This  was  one  of  Stedman's 
big  days  as  he  won  the  broad  jump,  the  220  yd.  run,  the  35  yd.  dash  and  the  high  and 
low  hurdles.  H.  Pearson  also  came  through  strong,  winning  both  the  half-mile  and 
mile  quite  easily. 

Although  this  record  appears  to  be  unfavorable  from  the  standpoint  of  wins  and 
losses,  Stockbridge  may  well  feel  proud  of  her  1932  track  team.  This  is  the  first 
organized  track  team  that  Stockbridge  has  ever  had.  The  spirit  and  talent  that  was 
demonstrated  bids  well  for  the  future  of  Stockbridge  track. 

The  following  men  received  letters:  Sherwood  Stedman,  '32,  Brockton;  'Walter 
Planitzer,  Lawrence;  Ralph  Stratton,  Boston;  Emil  Jaeschke,  Adams;  Stuart  Thurber,  '32, 
Manager,  Brattleboro,  Vt. ;  Harold  Pearson,  '33,  Lowell.

The  1932  Student  Council  has  had  a  most  active  and  successful  year.  Commencing 
at  the  very  start  of  the  year  the  senior  members  met  with  the  freshman  class  three  times 
during  the  first  two  days.  Campus  rules,  class  rules  and  various  other  points  that  might 
be  misunderstood  and  cause  friction  were  explained  at  this  time. 

The  three  class  meetings,  two  freshman  and  one  senior,  were  conducted  by  the 
Student  Council.  This  was  a  duty  that  the  Council  assumed  for  the  first  time  and  is 
one  which  they  fee!  should  be  continued  by  succeeding  council  groups. 

The  constitution  was  found  to  be  madequate  and  was  therefore  revised.  These 
changes  proved  to  be  helpful  in  the  council  work  throughout  the  year.  One  of  these 
changes  was  in  the  carrying  out  of  the  hat  rush  which  was  conducted  entirely  under 
the  supervision  of  the  council  members  and  proved  a  very  enjoyable  affair  to  all 
concerned. 

The  Council  appreciates  the  spirit  of  cooperation  that  the  members  of  the  two 
classes  evidenced  and  wishes  to  bequeath  to  the  succeeding  council  the  same  fine  spirit 
of  fellowship  that  we  have  enjoyed  this  year.

DAIRY  MANUFACTURES 

When  I  showed  up  for  work  one  morning  in  the  Green  Mountain  Ice  Cream  plant 
I  was  asked,  "Can  you  shovel  coal?"  At  the  same  moment  I  was  handed  a  brand  new 
shovel  and  a  clean  white  uniform.  Thus  was  I  initiated  into  my  work  by  shoveling 
good  Pennsylvania  Bituminous  coal  for  the  next  9  hours.  The  day  flew  by  fast  with 
plenty  of  laughs  and  arguments  relative  to  the  value  of  coke  and  hard  coal  as  heating 
agents. 

When  a  warm  spell  happened  along  and  I  as  a  newcomer  was  hurried  a  bit,  I 
always  heard  the  remark,  "Wait  till  summer  comes."  One  day  a  large  number  of  the 
State  Constabulary  parked  themselves  in  the  freezing  room.  I  remarked,  "What  is  it, 
a  hold-up?"  No  such  luck,  it  was  just  another  proof  that  despite  the  depression  even 
the  officers  of  the  law  are  100%  in  back  of  our  old  dairy  products.  The  officers  were 
all  smiles  and  anxious  to  sample  and  O.  K.  our  products  regardless  of  the  color  or  flavor. 

One  morning  the  boss  said,  "Couple  of  you  fellows  are  wanted  at  the  ranch." 
Another  fellow  and  myself  went  to  see  what  was  doing.  We  found  that  we  were 
supposed  to  set  up  some  electric  light  poles,  Edison  Light  style  near  the  factory.  With 
the  help  of  five  pairs  of  brawny  arms,  a  Mack  truck,  and  ice  picks  we  set  up  the  first  pole. 
The  driver  of  the  "Mack"  gave  us  fair  warning  to  fly  if  we  let  a  pole  bury  him  in  his 
cab.  We  finally  got  the  pole  up  at  something  approaching  the  perpendicular.  The  poles 
were  not  imbedded  very  deeply  and  therefore  wavered  slightly.  The  Frigidaire  Man  said,. 
"Why  pick  on  me  to  string  a  light  wire  at  the  top  of  those  poles."  That  part  was  left 
for  another  day  so  we  didn't  see  "Johnnie"  perform  the  steeple  jack  trick  on  top  of  those 
overgrown  bean  poles. 

On  another  nice  busy  day  the  lights  went  "out"  in  the  hardening  rooms.  Lanterns 
were  hung  for  headlights  on  the  hand  trucks  which  were  used  to  convey  the  ice  cream 
in  and  out  of  the  hardening  rooms.  I  soon  found  out  how  little  I  knew  about  where 
the  sweet  strawberry  flavor  was  stocked  up.  The  floor  was  very  slippery  and  treacherous 
and  when  I  finally  secured  a  load  and  pushed  it  to  the  loading  platform  I  would  be 
informed  emphatically  that  "I  said,  strawberry  not  cherry."  Both  were  naturally  of  a 
pinkish  hue.  We  hoped  the  good  old  days  of  lantern  light  would  be  over  soon  in 
order  that  we  might  see  more  clearly.  They  were  according  to  a  pal  of  mine  at  the 
plant  only  two  varieties  of  help.  One  variety  return  the  implements  they  borrow  and 
the  other  variety  always  forgets  to  return  them.  He  had  some  choice  titles  for  each 
variety  but  I  can  not  recall  them.  I  often  wondered  into  which  variety  I  belonged 
but  luckily  he  kept  it  a  secret. 

On  placement  I  learned  how  time  and  can  covers  can  fly.  I  picked  up  a  lot  of 
things  relative  to  dairy  manufactures  that  have  and  will  be  of  extreme  value  to  me. 
I  wouldn't  have  missed  that  six  months  placement  cruise  around  Franklin  County  under 
the  personal  supervision  of  "Em."  Grayson,  for  the  world. 

Yours, 

Bruno  K.  Vuornos.

POMOLOGY 

Arrived  at  Poeghquag,  N.  Y.,  my  destination,  late  in  the  evening  of  a  certain  day 
in  March.  Was  duly  welcomed  by  the  farm  hostler  and  his  dog;  the  hostler  was 
friendly,  his  dog  was  not.  I  was  shown  to  my  room  which  was  very  pleasant  except 
for  a  queer,  rasping  sound  that  seemed  to  emanate  from  the  east  wall.  On  raising  my 
eyebrows  interrogatively  at  the  hostler  I  was  rewarded  with — "That's  your  boss,  young 
fellow  like  yourself.     He  was  tired." 

After  a  beautiful  night's  rest,  I  awakened  at  6:30  to  meet  the  members  of  the  tribe 
I  was  to  associate  with  for  six  months.  They  were  all  pleasant.  The  boss  broke  down 
and  confessed  to  "being  a  Stockbridge  man."  I  next  met  the  personnel  consisting  of 
thirty  men  of  mixed  colors.  After  which  I  was  introduced  first  to  three  hundred  head 
of  cattle  and  seven  teams  of  horses  and  then  finally  to  the  orchard  which  comprised 
ninety-five  acres  out  of  the  one  hundred  sixty  acres  total. 

From  then  on  pruning  was  the  question,  until  one  day  the  weather  seemed  to  warm 
perceptibly.  Moanings  and  groanings  were  heard  in  the  shops  where  the  sprayers  had 
hibernated  for  the  winter.  These  instruments  of  torture  were  soon  brought  forth  and 
I  was  immediately  married,  without  ceremony,  to  one  of  them.  To  make  matters  more 
interesting  in  this  fight  against  insects  the  boss  operated  one  and  instigated  a  little 
contest,  without  prizes,  in  which  the  idea  was  to  throw  on  as  much  spray  as  humanly 
possible.  Clever  of  the  boss — what?  Theme  song: — "Sweetheart  if  you  could  spray, 
a  million  tanks  a  day!" 

The  boss  taught  me  all  the  finesse  I  now  have  in  the  art  of  manipulating  a  spray 
gun.     Boys,  the  boss  makes  or  breaks  a  job!     Et  quam! 

From  then  on  to  the  picking  season,  when  not  floating  in  spray,  my  idle  hours  were 
spent  in  gassing  woodchucks,  hand  spreading  fertilizers,  manipulating  a  Fordson  with 
everything  from  a  dead  cow  to  a  trailer  load  of  fruit  behind  it,  delving  into  the 
mysteries  of  the  city  of  Poughkeepsie,  and  attending  fruit  meetings  on  different  farms. 

These  meetings  put  on  by  the  Farm  Bureau  with  "Joe"  Evans,  a  Mass.  State 
graduate,  presiding,  were  interesting  and  educational.  Many  of  the  men  at  these  meet- 
ings were  either  Stockbridge  or  State  men. 

At  last  the  sprayers  had  discharged  their  last  gallon,  they  were  stowed  away  and 
then  the  picking  gang  was  slowly  assembled. 

Harvest!  Twenty  men  and  four  women  worked  from  morning  'til  night  plucking 
the  delectable  fruit  from  the  trees,  grading,  packing,  and  loading  on  trucks  which 
hopped  the  fruit  to  New  York  City.  There  it  was  placed  on  market  with  a  prayer  from 
all  who  had  a  hand  in  any  of  the  operations,  that  it  might  sell  and  yield  a  profit  of  a 
.sort. 

During  these  operations  one  day,  I  noticed  a  familiar  character  seemingly  lost  in 
the  wilderness,  coming  through  the  trees.  On  closer  inspection  I  discovered  it  to  be 
my  brother!  Six  months  training  was  now  over,  back  to  civilization  for  me.  A  tearful 
leave  taking  and  we  were  off.     Such  was  the  placement  training  of  one  pomology  major. 


POULTY  HUSBANDRY 
I  like  to  look  on  placement  as  the  period  of  awakening.     It  gave  me  first-hand 
information  about  my  major  and  for  the  first  time  I  became  really  acquainted  with  the 


-'i.jruT-m  Lxxixi 


trials  and  tribulations  associated  with  that  major.  I  think  that  before  I  went  out  on 
placement  I  never  stopped  to  consider  the  possible  bad  features  in  the  field  I  was 
choosing  as  my  life's  work.  I  believe  that  President  Thatcher  was  right  when  he  said, 
"Placement  is  the  most  important  part  of  your  school  work." 

The  experience  that  you  acquired  while  on  placement  cannot  be  measured  from  a 
dollars  and  cents  view  point,  but  you  all  know  that  your  second  year  studies  were  made 
easier  and  you  got  a  lot  more  out  of  them  after  having  served  six  months  of  placement 
training. 

In  opening  this  article  I  said  that  I  liked  to  look  on  placement  as  the  period  of 
awakening.  To  my  mind  that  is  the  most  suitable  name  that  could  be  applied  to  it. 
In  a  large  majority  of  cases  you  had  never  done  any  practical  work  in  your  major  field. 
Your  training  so  far  had  been,  for  the  most  part,  purely  theoretical.  This  lack  of  expe- 
rience cast  a  glamour  over  a  new  adventure,  a  glamour  which  in  most  cases  was  quickly 
shattered  by  the  practical  everyday  routine. 

In  my  own  case  the  first  jolt  came  at  five  o'clock  in  the  morning.  That  was  the 
beginning  of  the  farmer's  day.  I  worked  from  then  until  six  at  night  and  some  nights 
until  ten  and  eleven  o'clock.  To  make  it  worse,  the  first  of  the  month  often  brought 
no  additional  remuneration  for  the  extra  work  accomplished.  Then  came  a  cold  rainy 
day.  In  spite  of  the  rain,  however,  there  were  the  chicks  to  be  fed,  and  the  stoves 
to  be  fired,  so  I  kept  plugging  along  regardless  of  the  rain  and  the  cold  brisk  wind 
which  made  working  out-of-doors  far  from  comfortable.  It  was  then  that  I  said  to 
myself,  '"Why  did  you  ever  take  this  job  anyway?" 

The  test  had  come  and  in  the  meeting  and  conquering  of  each  succeeding  difficulty 
as  it  arose,  I  received  my  most  valuable  training.  My  eyes  were  opened  to  many  of  the 
unforeseen  emergencies  which  might  arise  at  any  time.  I  was  now  seeing  the  practical 
side  of  my  work,  and  beginning  to  realize  that  along  with  the  good  there  has  to  be 
some  bad.  Perhaps  I  asked  myself,  "Are  you  satisfied  with  your  chosen  work  or  are 
you  going  to  look  for  a  more  agreeable  way  to  earn  your  living?" 

Now,  has  placement  been  a  help  or  a  hindrance  in  clearing  up  the  illusions  under 
which  you  were  working?  Do  you  know  now  whether  or  not  you  are  getting  what 
you  want?  If  you  decide  that  you  are  not,  placement  training  will  have  accomplished 
one  thing,  at  least,  in  putting  you  on  the  right  track,  and  saving  you  from  wasting 
another  year  in  the  wrong  field. 

I  think  that  if  you  were  to  ask  any  man  who  has  been  graduated  from  Stockbridge 
what  he  thought  of  placement  training,  he  would  say,  "There  is  nothing  that  can  take 
its  place  or  perform  as  great  a  service  to  the  school  and  student.  To  my  mind  it  is 
placement  training  that  makes  Stockbridge  perhaps  the  very  best  two-year  course  of 
its  kind."

HORTICULTURE 

"Wiley,  I  think  I  will  send  you  to  Newton,"  said  "Em"  Grayson  on  a  damp, 
rainy  morning.  "Yes,  the  Superintendent  of  the  Newton  Cemetery  said,  that  he  would 
take  a  man  and  you  can  try  the  job."  Down  dropped  my  jaw  for  my  mind  pictured 
a  Hallowe'en  nightmare  on  top  of  a  mince  pie  and  pickle  feed.  I  knew  such  things 
as  burial  grounds  existed  but  to  ever  work  in  such  a  place,  how  absurd. 

Nevertheless  down  I  went  to  Newton  that  very  week-end  for  who  was  going  to 
sign  a  contract  to  work  in  Heaven  or  H without  even  an  introduction.    A  beautiful 


"tUTDT 


unzh.! 


bed  of  pansies  first  struck  my  eye  as  I  turned  in  at  the  gate.  A  courteous  reception  by 
the  women  in  the  office  and  then  face  to  face  with  the  "Big  Boss."  He  was  quite 
human,  much  to  my  surprise.  He  said  that  he  had  been  a  kid  once  and  would  therefore 
give  me  a  chance.  "Report  at  the  greenhouse,  Monday  morning,  March  29th,"  were 
the  orders. 

During  the  first  two  months  I  had  no  more  idea  of  cemetery  work  than  the  "man 
in  the  moon"  for  my  job  was  chiefly  about  the  greenhouses  with  the  occasional  planting 
of  a  vine  or  bush.  If  I  am  not  mistaken  I  planted  a  woodbine  for  one  lot  owner.  There 
came  an  order  at  4:45  p.  m.  for  me  to  do  the  work.  With  a  spade  in  one  hand  and 
hanging  on  with  the  other,  I  stood  on  the  running  board  of  a  new  limousine  as  it 
lunged  and  heaved  around  numerous  bends.  Every  minute  I  expected  my  shovel  to 
carve  some  modernistic  design  in  a  paint  job  as  dazzling  as  the  midday  sun. 

Upon  my  returning  to  the  greenhouses,  after  the  planting  was  completed,  the  follow- 
ing words  were  exchanged  during  a  talk  with  the  foreman.  "How  did  you  make  out?" 
he  asked.  "O.  K.  Was  there  any  particular  trick  to  it?  I  hope  it  will  grow,"  I 
replied.  "Well,  if  you  are  sure  you  buried  the  roots  instead  of  the  branches  I  guess  it 
will  alright,"  came  the  reply  accompanied  with  a  grin. 

Who  said  a  cemetery  was  a  dead  place?  We  have  listened  for  hours  to  the  call 
of  the  Bob  White  and  as  the  sun  began  to  set  we  heard  the  moo  of  many  cows  in  a 
far  off  pasture.  Day  after  day  we  watched  the  squirrels  play  tag  among  the  trees  and 
of  all  the  manoeuvres  that  man  can  execute  with  his  little  tin  fleets  none  can  equal 
the  feats  of  mother  duck  and  her  squadron  as  they  swim,  first  in  the  Big  Pond  and  then 
in  the  Fountain  Pond.  Then,  drowning  out  all  other  sound  for  awhile,  came  the  sharp, 
challenging,  fear  instilling  call  of  the  Blue  Jay.  No,  a  cemetery  in  the  summer  is  far 
from  a  dead  place. 

Cemetery  work  is,  of  course,  a  business.  However,  if  one  has  not  that  touch  of 
human  love  for  his  fellow  men,  it  is  no  place  for  him  to  work.  The  following  is  an 
illustration  of  the  parts  that  pathos  and  humor  play  in  the  daily  routine. 

One  day  as  we  were  raking  up  leaves  in  front  of  the  office,  there  drove  up  to  the 
curb,  a  car  containing  two  well  dressed  women  both  of  whom  seemed  to  be  in  anything 
but  a  harmonious  and  peaceful  frame  of  mind.  As  the  car  stopped  one  lady  stepped 
out  and  hastily  entered  the  office.  The  one  remaining  in  the  car  became  more  and 
more  uneasy  until  at  last  she  beckoned  for  us  to  approach.  As  we  did  so,  she  imme- 
diately asked  in  a  high  pitched  voice,  "Do  you  know  what  we  just  saw?"  We  looked 
dumb  so  she  continued,  "We  just  saw  the  bones  of  the  mother  of  my  friend.  We 
do  not  know  where  the  skull  is.  Where  are  you,  men?  Does  not  the  superintendent 
know  what  is  happening  about  his  own  grounds?"  After  this  barrage  had  somewhat 
subsided,  we  inexperienced  workers  tried  to  quiet  her  with  a  few  comforting  words 
until  the  boss  came  along  and  took  charge  of  the  situation.  This  seemingly  dire  event 
proved  to  be  nothing  but  the  result  of  two  sets  of  high  strung  nerves  coming  in  combina- 
tion with  an  unusual  but  quiet  natural  happening.  It  seems  that  the  particular  grave 
they  were  looking  at  had  settled,  which  is  only  natural  after  a  few  years,  however,  in  its 
settling,  it  had  exposed  to  view  a  few  white  roots  of  a  neighboring  shrub.  These  roots 
the  women  had  strangely  taken  to  be  bones. 

It  is  experiences  such  as  these  that  help  to  make  work  in  a  cemetery  interesting. 
Perhaps  no  where  else  do  you  meet  events  of  a  like  nature.  For  this  reason  the  joviality 
of  the  golf  course,  the  soddenness  of  estate  maintainance  and  the  touch  of  the  nursery

do  not  appeal  to  me.  This  period  of  placement  training  has  proved  of  immense  value 
to  me.  It  has  made  me  realize  the  attractiveness  of  a  life  in  which  one  can  render  such 
a  distinct  and  valuable  service  to  mankind.

ANIMAL  HUSBANDRY 

B-r-r-r,  4:50  A.  M.,  dark,  cold,  strange,  but  I  have  got  to  start  milking  those  cows 
at  5:00  o'clock.  Boy,  but  the  "Boss"  looked  hard  boiled  when  he  told  me  that  last 
night.  I  wonder  whom  I'll  be  milking  with.  I  never  milked  much  but  well  here  goes. 
These  were  a  few  of  the  many  thoughts  that  raced  through  my  mind  as  I  tumbled  into 
my  clothes  and  struggled  out  to  the  barn  exactly  at  five,  only  to  learn  that  I  was  twenty 
minutes  ahead  of  anyone  else.  Boy! !  was  it  cold  and  lonesome  those  first  few  moments 
of  my  first  morning  on  placement. 

My  first  real  taste  of  placement  came  with  two  solid  weeks  of  trimming  apple  trees 
in  all  kinds  of  weather.  During  this  time  I  not  only  learned  how  to  trim  trees  but 
also  learned  that  the  "Boss"  wasn't  so  hard  boiled  after  all.  In  fact  he  was  a  darned 
"good  sport."  I  found  that  the  other  men  were  used  to  working  with  us  poor  misguided 
placement  boys  and  were  willing  to  lend  both  help  and  advice  at  all  times. 

Time  went  fast,  too  fast,  and  almost  before  I  got  there  it  was  plowing  and  then 
planting  time.  This  meant  riding  the  tractor  eight  or  nine  hours  a  day,  or  setting  back 
of  a  potato  planter,  or  worst  of  all,  five  days  of  setting  cabbage  plants  in  the  rain  and 
mud.  Then  followed  one  continuous  whirl  of  cultivating,  spraying  of  apples  and 
potatoes,  sawing  wood,  taking  care  of  a  couple  hundred  of  birds,  (a  before  breakfast 
chore),  and  numerous  other  pleasantries,  such  as,  piloting  the  "honey  wagon"  and  like 
occupations. 

Of  course  I  could  go  on  indefinitely  and  tell  about  the  haying,  apple  picking,  potato 
digging,  corn  picking,  and  fall  plowing,  but  it  really  wouldn't  mean  much  more  than 
a  repetition  of  what  I  have  already  said.  There  are  other  much  more  interesting  sides 
of  placement  to  tell  about.  Such  a  one  was  a  market  trip  into  Boston.  This  required 
-the  getting  up  at  1:00  A.  M.,  the  driving  in  with  a  load  of  apples,  the  selling  of  the 
load  and  then  the  getting  back  in  time  to  do  a  day's  work.  There  were  also  times  when 
the  "Boss"  asked  my  advice  on  some  matter.  Did  I  feel  big  and  did  I  expand  on  the 
subject  in  question!  He  probably  understood  and  didn't  laugh  too  hard.  It  wasn't  all 
work,  for  there  was  the  old  Ford  which  meant  good  times  on  those  days  we  had  off. 
Even  if  it  did  pour  all  day  and  the  old  top  on  the  Ford  leaked,  we  had  fun. 

It's  funny  how  a  fellow  changes  when  he  gets  out  among  strangers.  I  went  on 
placement  with  the  idea  that  I  would  show  the  "Boss"  how  to  feed  the  cows  and  tell 
what  fertilizers  to  use.  Boy,  were  most  of  my  ideas  all  wet!  I  should  not  tell  this 
about  myself,  but  I  actually  fed  the  cows  poultry  mash  for  four  days  instead  of  the 
dairy  feed — some  balanced  ration!  By  the  time  placement  was  coming  to  a  close  I 
began  to  give  the  "Boss"  a  little  credit  and  admitted  to  myself  that  perhaps  he  could 
manage  the  farm  quite  well  at  that.  I  learned  that  to  keep  quiet  and  listen  was  the 
best  method  of  acquiring  knowledge. 

I  finally  decided  that  placement  was  the  best  thing  that  I  had  ever  experienced. 
It  wasn't  just  learning  how  to  make  "Susie"  produce  ten  pounds  more  milk  per  day 
or  how  to  make  good  corn  grow  where  even  weeds  couldn't  grow  before,  but  rather  how 
to  get  along  with  your  fellow  workers,  how  to  learn  new  methods  and  to  impart  what 
you  know,  and  how  to  form  and  value  new  friendships.

VEGETABLE  GARDENING 

Lookout  Farm, 
South  Natick,  Mass. 
August  4,  1931. 
Dear  Friend: — 

There  are  many  things  which  I  could  tell  you  about  the  training  work  that  I  am 
getting  here  at  Lookout  Farm.  It  is  really  difficult  for  one  to  know  just  where  to  begin 
because  there  are  so  many  important  features  about  vegetable  growing.  However,  if 
you  desire  to  be  gainfully  employed  in  agriculture  and  make  good  use  of  your  time 
and  money  you'll  find  plenty  of  stiff  problems  and  pleasure  in  associating  with  vegetable 
crops  and  all  that  goes  with  them. 

The  boys  who  are  working  and  living  here  on  the  place  enjoy  living  in  the 
fraternal  like  bunk  room,  at  the  rear  of  the  large  farm  house.  It  is  now  so  cool  and 
comfortable  here  that  I  think  I'll  move  in  from  my  upstairs  room.  Ed  Butler  came 
here  to  work  in  the  early  part  of  June  and  two  other  fellows  from  the  city  were  lured 
to  the  farm  to  get  a  healthy  living  and  we're  all  just  a  happy  family. 

During  the  early  part  of  the  season  we  had  a  number  of  crops  in  cold  frames  such 
as  tomatoes,  cabbage  and  lettuce.  These  crops  required  constant  attention  until  they 
were  set  in  the  field.  Most  of  the  plants  which  I  had  handled  didn't  seem  to  suffer 
much  when  set  in  the  field.  'With  a  little  close  attention  and  practice  one  can  learn 
quite  a  bit  about  the  proper  handling  of  frame  crops  for  setting  out.  Those  plants 
which  were  grown  in  flats  and  beds  simply  had  the  moistened  soil  on  their  roots  balled 
in  the  hands,  set  in  empty  flats  and  sent  to  the  fields.  Here  two  of  us  set  out  the  plants, 
going  for  all  we  were  worth  while  another  fellow  kept  at  a  safe  distance  from  us,  drop- 
ping the  plants.  Tomatoes  were  the  largest  frame  crop  we  handled  and  required 
careful  attention  in  removing  from  pots  and  dropping  in  the  fields  so  that  the  tops 
wouldn't  break.     More  than  once  I  spoiled  a  perfect  plant. 

The  boss  of  the  farm  usually  works  right  with  us  in  the  fields  and  I  never  feel 
just  like  taking  my  time  when  an  inspiring  worker  like  him  is  around.  If  we  were 
thinning  and  weeding  carrots  or  pruning  tomato  vines  it  would  almost  be  a  race  to  see 
which  one  of  us  fellows  could  get  the  most  work  done.  Sometimes  we  even  got  ahead 
of  the  boss. 

Every  day  after  breakfast  or  dinner,  we  fellows  of  the  bunk  room  would  join  the 
rest  of  the  workers  in  the  vegetable  packing  room  to  receive  our  working  orders.  Some- 
times two  or  three  of  us  would  be  given  work  together  cultivating  the  beets  or  onions 
while  a  group  of  five  or  six  would  be  sent  to  pick  beans.  So  most  of  us  would  pile 
on  the  market  truck  and  ride  through  the  fields  and  jump  off  at  the  places  where  we  were 
to  work.  Quite  often  "Ed"  Butler  or  I  have  to  go  out  in  the  morning  and  cut  a  few 
bushels  of  spinach,  summer  squash  and  pull  some  carrots  or  beets.  'We  wash  these 
and  send  them  down  to  the  road  side  stand  for  sale.  'We  also  have  quite  a  bunch  of 
swme  which  are  kept  in  two  of  the  barns.  These  require  daily  attention  and  occasionally 
I  am  elected  candidate  to  clean  and  feed  them  in  the  morning  or  at  night.  That's  one 
job  which  I  don't  care  about  spending  my  time  on. 

Now  that  our  tomato  crop  is  bearing  nearly  at  its  best,  much  time  and  attention 
must  be  given  to  it.  In  order  to  ptovide  for  this  a  gang  of  five  men  usually  including 
myself  have  to  continue  pruning  and  training  the  vines  and  then  pick  the  tomatoes. 
Most  every  morning  we  go  up  to  the  tomato  field.     On  the  way  up  each  of  us  thins

and  weeds  a  row  of  Chinese  Cabbage  that  lies  in  that  direaion.  Then  the  rest  of  the 
morning  is  spent  pruning  tomatoes,  and  before  we  know  it  12  o'clock  has  arrived. 

When  we  return  from  the  fields,  cabbage,  beets,  beans,  etc.,  are  loaded  on  the 
truck  and  brought  down  to  the  washroom.  Covered  with  dust  and  dirt  as  we  usually 
are,  each  of  us  proceeds  to  get  as  much  of  it  off  as  possible  with  scrub  brushes  and  then 
forget  about  everything  except  eating  dinner.  Frequently  on  warm  days  the  boys  who 
bring  their  lunches  go  for  a  swim  in  the  nearby  river.  Those  of  us  boarding  on  the  farm 
prefer  to  go  swimming  at  night  when  we  do  not  need  to  leave  a  hot  meal  when  there's 
plenty  of  time  to  spare. 

I  have  had  so  many  experiences  and  have  learned  so  many  things  since  training 
started  that  it's  hardy  possible  to  tell  you  all  about  them.  I  expected  to  get  some  work' 
with  horses  which  was  partly  fulfilled  because  one  of  the  teamsters  was  absent;  and  I 
eagerly  tried  to  get  as  much  experience  as  possible  about  spreading  fertilizer  and  harrow- 
ing. When  the  tomato  crop  came  along  I  went  thru  nearly  all  of  the  steps  in  the 
culture  of  the  crop  as  well  as  the  harvesting  and  grading  of  it.  The  latter  requires 
pretty  skillful  handling  and  packing. 

If  you  were  to  ask  me  just  what  I  liked  most  about  vegetable  growing,  I  would 
say  the  harvesting  and  preparing  for  market.  It  makes  the  farmer  feel  pretty  proud  to 
send  well  grown,  cleaned  and  packed  vegetables  to  market.  As  I  remember  it,  about  the 
biggest  kick  I  got  out  of  placement  was  the  result  of  a  trip  into  Boston  market  one 
Sunday  with  the  foreman.  We  went  in  with  a  new  Chevrolet  truck,  loaded  down  with 
tomatoes  packed  in  baskets. 

A  few  days  from  now  one  of  our  fellow  workers  is  leaving  us  and  we  are  planning 
to  celebrate  the  night  before  he  leaves  with  a  corn  roast,  marshmallow  toast,  and  general 
good  time. 

Just  now  as  my  placement  training  at  Lookout  is  nearing  the  end  I  can  look  backf 
to  the  day  when  I  first  came  here.  How  little  knowledge  I  actually  possesed  of  handling 
farm  tools  and  work,  and  how  numerous  were  the  blunders  and  successes  I  experienced. 
This  sort  of  training  has  done  much  to  make  me  realize  the  problems  of  life  which  shall 
soon  confront  me  and  has  given  me  fuller  preparation  to  meet  them.  I'll  miss  doing 
chores  in  the  morning,  seeing  the  broad  fields  with  crops  and  hearing  my  fellow  workers 
singing  as  we  keep  plugging  along  at  work. 

If  possible  I  should  like  to  have  every  day  of  my  life  work  a  day  of  placement. 
With  its  varied  problems  and  interesting  happenings  one  is  kept  continually  on  the 
alert  and  then  after  a  few  weeks,  one  has  the  pleasure  of  returning  to  school  and 
renewing  earlier  friendships. 

Well,  it  is  getting  late  and  I  have  a  hard  day  ahead  of  me  tomorrow,  so  good  night.

FLORICULTURE 
"Bud"  Davis  says: — 

Now  that  the  last  of  the  mosquito  bites  have  departed,  and  I  can  rest  back 
comfortably  in  my  chair  without  irritating  last  summer's  sunburn,  I  begin  to  have 
recollections  of  that  popular  summer  pastime  for  Stockbridge  freshmen  known  as  "place- 
ment training." 

I  soon  found  out  (I  think  it  took  about  three  days)  that  placement  training  was  not 
a  "bed  of  roses"  although  I  was  majoring  in  Floriculture.

"^urDT-"-^^^  uroxi 


For  my  first  job  I  was  designated  to  work  on  the  foundation  of  a  new  greenhouse 
that  was  to  be  erected,  and  for  two  weeks  I  loosened  up  soil  and  rocks  with  a  well 
known  tool  called  a  pick,  and  placed  the  soil  gently  but  firmly  within  trucks  and 
wheelbarrows,  sometimes  being  elected  to  the  managership  of  a  wheelbarrow. 

But  I  managed  to  keep  my  spirits  from  crashing  completely  by  confidentially  think- 
ing that  better  times  were  in  store  for  me. 

And  they  were  for  most  of  my  spare  time  during  the  latter  part  of  April  and 
nearly  all  of  May  was  taken  up  with  the  planting  of  dahlias  and  gladioli.  To  get  down 
in  the  field,  with  the  freshly  harrowed  soil  on  a  warm  sunny  spring  day  was  certainly 
an  oasis  in  the  desert  of  my  spiritual  depression,  and  as  the  robins  picked  up  occasional 
worms  and  birds  sang  I  soon  forgot  my  troubles  with  the  pick  and  shovel,  and  life 
seemed  worth  living  again. 

Then  Memorial  Day  came  with  all  of  the  extra  work  it  creates  and  I  passed  a 
heaic  ten  days  rushing  from  one  flower  pot  to  another  and  wondering  what  it  was  all 
about.     It  certainly  was  a  "Memorial  Day"  all-right.     I  just  can't  forget  it. 

After  Memorial  Day  the  rainy  days  were  selected  to  plant  out  the  miscellaneous 
annuals.  You  know,  those  days  with  enough  rain  to  gradually  seep  through  the  clothing 
until  one  becomes  not  only  exceedingly  uncomfortable  but  also  thoroughly  wet. 

By  July  most  of  the  mud  had  worked  its  way  out  of  my  hair  and  eyes  and  I  was 
ready  for  anything. 

I  didn't  stay  ready  for  anything  for  a  great  length  of  time,  though.  From  planting 
annuals  in  the  mud  I  graduated  to  benches  with  soil  in  the  greenhouses.  For  those 
who  have  never  been  initiated  into  this  job  I  will  say  that  it  is  an  annual  sport  of  most 
greenhouse  labors,  and  the  game  is  played  by  filling  large  wheelbarrows  with  rich,  new 
soil,  maneuvering  said  vehicles  through  narrow  doors,  driving  carefully  up  a  narrow 
plank  (generally  in  low  gear)  and  depositing  the  soil  within  the  sides  of  the  bench. 
To  get  the  full  amount  of  enjoyment,  the  thermometer  should  register  95°  F.  or  more, 
although  it  is  possible  to  carry  on  when  the  mercury  drops  as  low  as  90°  F. 

I  spent  the  next  month  or  so  recuperating  from  the  wheelbarrow  sickness  by 
carrying  on  my  interest  in  Floriculture  through  the  business  end  of  a  hoe.  This 
monotony  was  broken  up  one  day  of  each  week  by  chasing  a  little  motor  cultivator  up 
and  down  the  rows  of  flowers  in  the  field  until  it  seemed  as  though  I  had  walked  two 
or  three  hundred  miles. 

Of  course  there  were  innumerable  jobs  to  attend  to  such  has  benching  carnations, 
pinching  back  small  flowering  chrysanthemums,  shifting  pot  plants,  watering  in  the 
greenhouses  and  cold-frames,  picking  flowers,  sorting  them  for  sale,  and  many  times 
attending  to  the  wants  of  the  customers  which  included  anything  from  a  Batchelor  Button 
for  the  elderly  gentleman's  lapel  to  rescuing  old  ladies  from  bumble  bees. 

As  the  bell  rang  for  the  last  round  or  the  month  of  September  arrived  I  found  that 
the  work  was  becoming  a  part  of  me.  Regardless  of  what  the  job  was  I  managed  to 
get  some  enjoyment  out  of  it.  The  first  month  seemed  to  drag  by,  but  the  last  month 
went  by  all  too  quickly.  In  the  first  month's  work  I  disliked  some  of  my  duties,  but 
the  last  month  found  me  anxious  to  acccmplish  more,  and  trying  to  improve  myself  as 
much  as  possible.  The  foundation  was  hardening,  the  six  month's  placement  had 
moulded  for  me  a  firm  footing  to  stand  upon  in  later  years. 

I  now  realize  just  what  placement  training  means  to  a  fellow.  It  makes  a  man  out 
of  a  youth,  or  a  better  man  out  of  a  man,  and  there  are  very  few  fellows  who  go  through 
with  it  without  its  instilling  into  them  an  indelible  quality  which  increases  their  deter- 
mination and  gives  to  them  a  greater  knowledge  and  interest  in  their  chosen  field. 

Norman  Davis.

You,  the  Class  of  1932  Stockbridge  School  of  Agriculture,  can  well  be  proud  of 
the  departing  remembrance  you  are  leaving  to  the  campus  of  your  school.  Your  gift 
is  not  only  extraordinary  by  the  number  and  high  quality  of  the  trees,  but  more  especially 
is  it  significant  that  this  gift  of  ninety  plants  more  than  doubles  the  number  of  different 
forms  of  coniferous  evergreens  now  exisiting  on  the  campus,  adding  many  new  and 
much  desired  forms  to  our  campus  plantations. 

The  first  classes  graduating  from  Massachusetts  Agricultural  College  established  the 
.tradition  of  "class  trees."  The  students  then  went  into  the  surrounding  hills  and  from 
them  brought  the  trees  which  now  in  maturity  line  our  drives  and  shade  our  campus. 
Your  trees  too  are  class  trees,  in  this  same  sense,  the  members  of  your  class  not  only 
purchased,  but  also  dug  and  planted  them,  and  those  who  follow  will  also  enjoy 
your  gift. 

The  trees  you  have  given  have  been  arranged  in  related  groupings  in  three  locations, 
the  arborvitae  and  retinosporas  near  the  old  plant  house,  the  junipers  grouped  as  a 
natural  "juniper  growth"  along  the  east  hillside  above  the  vegetable  garden,  and  the 
larger  trees,  pines,  firs  and  spruces,  to  the  south  of  the  "dingle"  along  the  same  hillside. 
So  arranged,  they  form  study  areas  which  will  appreciate  every  year  both  in  aesthetic 
quality  and  in  educational  value.  Thus  they  form  the  basis  for  larger  groupings  of 
similar  trees  which  we  hope  to  build  into  a  "pinetum"  as  new  material  becomes  available. 

Please  accept  my  personal  thanks  and  those  of  the  College  through  me  for  this 
splendid  Gift.

Adieu,  Dear  S.  S.  A.,  Adieu. 
We  can  no  longer  be  with  you. 
We  came  a  grass  green  lot  at  most, 
With  nothing  much  of  which  to  boast. 
You  taught  us  how  all  plants  should  grow, 
And  how  to  keep  their  pests  in  tow. 
You  showed  us  how  to  till  the  ground. 
You  gave  us  knowledge  broad  and  sound, 
Along  the  lines  that  we  should  know. 
And  now  we  thank  you  S.  S.  A. — 
In  a  sturdy  and  heartfelt  way. 
We  know  not  what  the  future  holds 
Though  college  years  a  lifetime  molds. 
And  so,  if  ever  and  anon 
Our  paths  seem  dark  and  hard,  or  rough; 
Just  thoughts  of  you  will  be  enough 
To  help  us  carry  on.
